Wednesday, 12 February 2025
We are excited to present the second issue of the AWARE project newsletter. Through this newsletter, you will be informed about the latest developments, key events, and project milestones for the AWARE project.
A Year in Review
With the completion of one year of activities and with 2025 in sight, the AWARE project reviews its key achievements from 2024 and plans for the months that follow. From concept to progress, we look at the main highlights after the launch of AWARE. What do we have in store for 2025? First, we plan to engage stakeholders in public warning with a survey on the AWARE module. Then, we’re preparing for the AWARE demonstrations, to ensure the quality and reliability of the module!

Demonstrating the capacity and effectiveness of the AWARE module: To validate the performance and reliability of the system, the AWARE consortium is preparing three demonstrations for 2025. Each demonstration will be based on a real-world emergency scenario that calls for swift and accurate public warning messages. Simulations of nature-derived disasters, industrial catastrophes and urban emergencies are going to put the AWARE module to the test, ensuring that it rises to every occasion.

The AWARE project
The AWARE project is developing a solution to enable the reception and processing of alert messages using the Galileo Emergency Warning Satellite Service (Galileo EWSS). Fixed devices, such as display panels, speakers, long-range acoustic devices (ACOUSTICS), indoor warning systems, and other connected devices, will be incorporated with this solution to alert citizens via audio, video, and text alert messages. Civil protection authorities could use this solution to enhance the reach of warning messages if there is no access to the telecommunications network.
