Natural and man-made hazards are increasingly threatening our cities and communities.

Abstract
Natural and man-made hazards are increasingly threatening our cities and communities. It is therefore imperative to provide readily accessible information and know how to public authorities and stakeholders on the possible impacts that such hazards might induce on different exposed elements, as well as on the opportunities of implementing resilience strategies to mitigate impacts, to adapt to long term threats and to promptly recover and thrive in the aftermath of crisis. The on-going digital transition is posing an unprecedented opportunity towards that; cities can be digitally empowered with low-cost sensors, smart collaborative technologies, interoperable platforms that, thanks to open-science algorithms and applications, allow democratizing access to data and information and fostering knowledge. In this work, we envisage resilience as a view of each smart city dimension; sensors, Key Performance Indicators KPIs and platforms produced for and by vertical components of smart cities are reinterpreted with resilience lenses and support decision makers with smart services that are also instrumental in supporting resilience enhancement. This paper moves some first steps towards that by revising and identifying parallels in policies, frameworks and standards related to smart and resilient cities and by presenting preliminary implementations in Camerino Municipality.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
