On 25 March 2024, DataCivil’s principal investigator, Philipp Ulbrich was invited to participate in a panel discussion for the launch of the Municipal Plan for Disaster Risk Reduction in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro state.
The event was hosted by Niterói's mayor and co-presented by Brazil’s National Secretary for the Peripheries, the municipal secretary for civil defence, and the Vice-Chancellor of the Universidade Federal Fluminense.
During his talk, Philipp emphasised the importance of creating multi-level synergies between the global 2030 Agenda, Brazil's government’s drive to enhance data on Favelas, and Niterói’s plan to create a participatory strategy for disaster risk reduction in the city.
Following the public event, the DataCivil team hosted a project inception workshop with community civil defence volunteers and city officials to co-identify data needs and outline a joint vision of a training module for risk data generation for future civil defence volunteers.
