WS DRP Solutions is a Technical Committee within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Guidelines for Disaster Risk Preparedness Solutions" and is responsible for: Jointly led by the SYNERGIES and PARATUS projects under the Horizon Europe programme, the proposal aims to develop a CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) focused on the standardisation of how preparedness solutions for disaster risk preparedness are presented, maintained, and made discoverable. The initiative reflects a shared commitment to enhancing resilience across Europe by harmonising methodologies, frameworks, and tools through which solutions are accessed and understood, thereby enabling more effective preparedness and coordination in the face of increasingly complex, cross-sectoral, and compounding disaster risks. Building on the respective strengths of SYNERGIES in systems-based preparedness frameworks and PARATUS in dynamic risk assessment for multi-hazard environments, the Workshop will serve as a collaborative platform to standardise the way technical outputs are described, shared, and sustained, promoting alignment among stakeholders and facilitating the uptake of solutions developed by diverse projects. The scope encompasses the development of standardised approaches that promote collaboration across organizations, support effective planning, and optimize the use of resources in preparedness activities. The CWA will also reflect the value of data-driven decision-making, leveraging open-source tools, stakeholder co-creation, and broader system-level insights to ensure that preparedness measures are searchable, scalable, adaptable, and replicable across geographic and institutional contexts. Informed by the SYNERGIES Advisory Board, the PARATUS stakeholder hubs, and a wide range of contributors from across the disaster risk preparedness community, the Workshop will engage policymakers, emergency services, humanitarian actors, researchers, and civil society through structured dialogue and consensus-building. Furthermore, the CWA process will be open to contributions from other Horizon Europe projects operating within and beyond the Societal Resilience Cluste This committee has published 0 standards.

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.

A Technical Committee (TC) in CEN is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
