How can Virtual Reality (VR) enhance training, preparedness, and decision-making for first responders and civil protection professionals?
Explore how immersive technologies are reshaping the way responders train, simulate complex scenarios, and interact with high-risk environments — all in safe, scalable, and cost-effective ways.
This session brought together technology providers (CriSIS SIMULATION ENGiNEERING powering the simulation system of the "Centre Euro-Méditerranéen de Simulation des Risques" in Valabre), researchers (Western Norway University of Applied Sciences), and practitioners (National Fire Service School from Portugal) to share real-world examples, lessons learned, and future directions for VR in disaster risk management.
