Malta. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ presented the results of the Institute of Earth Systems, on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ who could not attend. Malta has been involved in two projects, co- operating in BeSafeNet and carrying out geomorphological mapping in Malta and Normandy (France). One of the new projects aims at investigating beach and coastal resorts risks, aiming at reaching tsunami ready beaches. ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ asked how to prevent people constructing and building in restricted areas. ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ suggested that establishing efficient links between politicians, the respective ministers, the scientific world and practitioners to ensure better prevention and preparedness in disaster risk reduction, could be a theme for the next Ministerial Session. In the framework of the next EUR-OPA Programme of activities, an event could be organised around this important issue. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Director, European Centre for Mitigation of Natural Risks (ECMNR), presented the projects on preparedness in schools through extra-curricular training on risks and disasters. The upcoming projects are aimed at raising awareness of populations concerned by floods and heavy snow falls. The programmes are for the primary and secondary school students and are co-ordinated with the Ministry of Education, as part of the Bologna Process.
