The policy brief therefore will serve as guideline introducing step by step actions that experts in the municipality must be taken into consideration during project preparation;
- Delivering of the policy brief to the local municipality through a series of workshops aiming to strengthen their capacity in risk assessment and Disaster Risk Reduction.
