Leveraging drones for smarter disaster response: PANTHEON’s strategy in action Aligning with the Sendai Framework for disaster risk reduction The United Nations’ Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 outlines three strategic dimensions: Adopting emerging technologies—especially drones—is crucial in all three areas. Their ability to enhance situational awareness, improve coordination, and accelerate response makes them […]

The PANTHEON Platform: A Technical Deep Dive Series Building a system capable of simulating entire cities in real-time while managing swarms of drones and processing satellite data is a monumental engineering challenge. It requires more than just good ideas; it needs a rock-solid technical foundation. Explore Deliverable 3.7, “Overall Architecture and High-Level Functionalities.” This document

The PANTHEON Data Pipeline: Technical Deep Dive Series In the high-stakes world of disaster management, getting the right data to the right person at the right time can save lives. But how do you build a system that can ingest terabytes of satellite imagery, real-time sensor readings, and drone footage, process it instantly, and deliver

D3.1 PANTHEON Technology Roadmap: Exploring Our Vision for Disaster Resilience How do we build communities that don’t just survive disasters, but adapt and thrive in their aftermath? This is the core question driving the PANTHEON project. We completed Deliverable 3.1, “PANTHEON Technology Roadmap for Disaster Resilient Communities.“ a major milostone for PANTHEON. This extensive document

Coordinated UAV Swarms for Disaster Response Within the PANTHEON project, ENAC is developing swarm algorithms for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to support first responders in large-scale disaster scenarios, including earthquakes and cyberattacks. In both cases, the system allows users to define the area to be scanned and select the available UAVs. Based on this input,

Enhancing Emergency Preparedness in Athens Through Digital Twin Technology As part of the PANTHEON project, Athens is implementing innovative pilot scenarios to support first responders in both operational planning and training, using Smart City Digital Twins (SCDTs). Two Key Applications for First Responders The PANTHEON platform addresses two primary needs identified within first responder organizations:

From scattered signals to a shared reality: Recommendations for collaborative data delivery In the chaotic aftermath of a disaster, information is the most valuable currency. Yet, too often, critical data remains trapped in silos. Meteorologists, first responders, NGOs, and utility companies often operate in isolation, using incompatible systems and formats. This fragmentation leads to a

PANTHEON: Advancing Disaster Management Through Smart City Digital Twins As climate change intensifies the frequency and complexity of natural and man-made hazards, disaster risk management systems must evolve. The PANTHEON project responds to this need by integrating Smart City Digital Twins (SCDTs) simulations, UAV technologies, andmulti-source data into a single decision-support platform. In this blog post, we’ll dive deeper into

Mapping the Future: Community-Based Disaster Management Strategies in Europe In the context of the PANTHEON project, the “Analysis of CBDRM National and Regional Policies, Existing Platforms and Uptakes” was conducted at the beginning of the project, including the mapping of the disaster management and civil protection regime over the EU, as well as the identification

Developing a PANTHEON Participatory Governance Model As part of PANTHEON’s groundwork for disaster-resilient community approaches, a participatory governance model has been developed to provide recommendations on approaches for effective and inclusive community participation in all aspects of disaster risk management (DRM). The goal is to inform, mobilise and organise communities, with a specific focus on
