Feeling Safe but Not Ready: Disaster Risk Perception and Urban Resilience in Baltic Capitals

This presentation examines disaster preparedness in the Baltic capitals of Riga, Tallinn, and Vilnius by analyzing both household readiness and institutional responses. Based on a survey of 3,016 residents and interviews with crisis-preparedness experts in 2025, it applies a Complex Adaptive Systems framework to show how urban resilience emerges from interactions among diverse actors within dynamic security environments.
