Faced with the consequences of climate change, and the urgent need to adapt our lifestyles, our professions and our daily lives to activate and strengthen the resilience of our territories, the authors have joined forces to study the problems and innovative methodologies for the prevention and management of major risks studied by the "science of hazards", such as floods, earthquakes, explosions, toxic clouds, tsunamis, nuclear problems, fires, health risks, etc. They also present tools specifically developed to improve and act at local level and establish collective resilience. They also present tools specifically developed to improve and act at local level and build collective resilience, as well as concrete examples of their applications.
