Guidelines for Citizen-led Disaster risk Mapping

The purpose of these Guidelines for Citizen-Led Disaster Risk Mapping is to provide a practical, step-by-step framework for communities, civil society organisations, researchers, and local institutions to design and implement citizen-led disaster risk mapping initiatives in a structured, ethical, and scientifically robust way. While citizen science and participatory approaches are increasingly promoted at the policy level—particularly within the European Union, UNDRR frameworks, and climate adaptation agendas—there is still very limited practical guidance on how such projects can be implemented on the ground, especially in complex, post-industrial and environmentally burdened contexts.
