Abstract. Risk management is used in societies to mitigate the potentially dramatic effects of natural hazards. Local authorities and managers use different indicators in elaborating rescue and urbanism plans, which are not always efficient in reducing impact in the time of the crisis. This highlights society’s vulnerability in the particular context of global environmental and climate changes. This interdisciplinary research aimed at identifying reliable risk indicators and societal responses regarding natural hazards and climate change impacts, to provide a governance framework for disaster risk reduction. Different societies face diverse risks and do not necessarily have the same level of local awareness confronting them. Two sites were thus selected from the Mediterranean basin, one from the South coast (North Morocco), other from the North coast (the Italian island of Sardinia). North Morocco, the region of multi-risks, is characterized by high demographic and economic pressures; West Sardinia counts for remarkable biodiversity of wetlands and is characterized by high environmental and agricultural pressures, which in both cases intensify the vulnerability of the coastal areas. Testing for the local population’s preparedness for future financial protection showed the importance of risk awareness sessions as an indicator of risk management. The significance of risk awareness sessions is demonstrated in a quantitative part of the study with the local population, and their importance is also discussed with other stakeholders in North Morocco in a qualitative part of the study. Based on these findings, further ideas on a new series of less descriptive, more dynamic, and more user-friendly indicators are suggested. How can risk sessions be a dynamic indicator of a resilient society? The obtained results could serve in future governance frameworks for the mitigation of natural hazards in the Mediterranean region and wider. Finally, the urgent need for continuous work to overcome the communication gap between the scientific community, risk administrators, civil society and the general population is encouraged.

提高风险意识的重要性:从地中海地区(北摩洛哥和意大利西撒丁岛)风险意识会议中吸取的经验教训

摘要。社会中使用风险管理来减轻自然灾害的潜在巨大影响。地方当局和管理人员在制定救援和城市化计划时使用不同的指标,这些指标在危机发生时并不总是有效地减少影响。这突出了社会在全球环境和气候变化的特定背景下的脆弱性。这项跨学科研究旨在确定有关自然灾害和气候变化影响的可靠风险指标和社会反应,为减少灾害风险提供治理框架。不同的社会面临着不同的风险,面对它们的地方意识不一定相同。因此从地中海盆地中选择了两个地点,一个来自南海岸(北摩洛哥),其他来自北海岸(意大利撒丁岛)。摩洛哥北部是多风险地区,人口和经济压力大;西撒丁岛拥有非凡的湿地生物多样性,其特点是环境和农业压力大,这两种情况都加剧了沿海地区的脆弱性。对当地居民未来财务保护准备情况的测试表明,风险意识会议作为风险管理指标的重要性。风险意识会议的重要性在与当地人口的研究的定量部分中得到了证明,并且在研究的定性部分中也与北摩洛哥的其他利益相关者讨论了它们的重要性。基于这些发现,对一系列较不具描述性、更具活力的新系列的进一步想法,并建议了更多用户友好的指标。风险会议如何成为弹性社会的动态指标?获得的结果可用于未来的治理框架,以减轻地中海地区及更广泛地区的自然灾害。最后,迫切需要继续努力克服科学界、风险管理者、民间社会和普通民众之间的沟通鸿沟。
