The Second Stakeholder Assembly saw the participation of nearly 60 delegates working in the field of disaster management and crisis response from different Italian organisations: national, regional, and municipal authorities, civil protection, firefighting and police departments, research institutes and universities, national associations, and others. The event included a wide range of initiatives. Six focus groups (three of which coordinated by LSC experts Giovanni Caiati, Daniele Mezzana and Gabriele Quinti) were organised and key results were later presented and further developed in a panel discussion.. During the event, Noellie Brockdorff and Sandra Appleby-Arnold, both from the University of Malta, presented a summary of the citizens’ perspective gained through the two Citizen Summits held previously in Bucharest and Malta (July 2016). A group discussion session was also developed on the issue of “Media Cultures and Disasters”, aimed at exploring the use of social media and mobile phone applications in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. Other sessions of the event were devoted to the use of smartphones in earthquakes, the relations between cultures, communities, and trust and the dynamics of social cohesion and social corrosion in disasters. The closing presentation at the conference “Cultures, Social Actors, and Empowerment in Local Communities” was given by Gabriele Quinti from LSC.
