Security and trust of citizens are challenged by new social phenomenons of the extremism and security of students at schools. Leaders fail or prove their professional approach in the event of a disaster or extraordinary situation that disturbs the regular community sets. The following case study presents the case of the school shooting at a Finnish school.
Trends of new shocking crises are raising a greater number of questions to what extent we can react to massive and shocking cross border pandemics and what to do first. We learn from our approaches, that laws and regulations are creating the foundations of disaster management actions, however, the critical issues can be answered by nobody but the integrated and coordinated approaches on a local level. The case study below stresses the foremost issues, protecting the most vulnerable and preventing them from further development of social and economic instability in the event of evolving contagious human diseases.
Natural phenomena and cyber agents are drivers of large-scale disorders of the social and economic activities in our communities. The case study below demonstrates the practical experience of dealing with summer storms that affected also the data transfer and electricity utility networks in Finland.
The European H2020 project STRATEGY (Facilitating EU pre-standardization process through streamlining and validating interoperability in systems and procedures involved in the crisis management cycle) seeks to promote pre-standardization of systems and procedures related to Crisis Management by streamlining, testing and validating standards, guidelines and recommendations; focusing on interoperability aspects according to the operational needs of practitioners. STRATEGY focuses on eight thematic streams in crisis management:

Sharing Good Practices and Lessons Learned
In support, this document describes a benchmarking method for assessing previous emergencies at home and abroad. As a result, we can evaluate each step of the emergency cycle and evaluate how our system would behave in a similar situation and draw conclusions and make recommendations on what should be changed or developed/enhanced.
The basic philosophy of resilience leads to CRISPRO case study benchmarking: The ability of an individual, a household, a community, a country or a region to prepare for, to withstand, to adapt, and to quickly recover from stresses and shocks without compromising long-term development prospects. We would like to contribute to developing a new approach for building resilience. Notwithstanding, CRISPRO benchmarking weight up the resilience-centred concept as an opportunity to bring together political dialogue, humanitarian and land use or urban development work and priorities in a comprehensive, coherent and effective approach to achieve better results on the ground.
