As security events become more frequent and have increasingly devastating consequences, international, national, and local risk management is becoming increasingly crucial. Effective strategies for timely prediction and management of these events at the local level are essential to mitigate the negative impact of security events on communities. The "MONSOON - Development of a model and prototype of a technical solution for managing security events at the local level" project is based on findings that existing risk assessment models are primarily designed for national threats and security organizations, lacking specificity for local communities and non-security legal entities. In the Republic of Slovenia, it is necessary to highlight the need for risk assessment models related to various security events at the local level. Existing methodologies do not sufficiently cover the diversity and complexity of the threats faced by local communities. The project will develop a theoretical model and a prototype technical solution that will improve risk assessment capabilities at the local level. A framework based on machine learning methods will be created that integrates various data important for effectively predicting security events. The project will achieve the following objectives: (1) a theoretical definition of the role of local communities in assessing and managing significant security events; (2) the development of a theoretical framework for assessing security risks in local communities, including key input data for effective prediction and a proposal of strategies for managing security events; and (3) development of a prototype technical solution, supported by machine learning methods and advanced interactive visualization tools. The project results will be primarily intended for analysts and decision-makers at the national and local levels, especially those responsible for ensuring safety and protection from natural and other disasters and other security events. The results will also be important for various organizations involved in security management, such as municipal police, health institutions, police, and civil protection. The results of the MONSOON project will enable more informed and proactive management of security risks at the local level. Thus, the results will contribute to the broader goal of ensuring public safety and improving resilience to security events at the national level and in local communities.

The phases of the project:

· DS1: Project management
