The Roadmap 'Public empowerment policies for crisis management' aims at charting directions for further research and implementation supporting human resilience. It reports core problems and gaps identified based on the research conducted by the research teams that together formed the international consortium of the project PEP. So far, the level of development of public empowerment policies differs much in Europe. What explains these differences, and why are public empowerment policies not developed in many places? Is this, in part, a lack of knowledge that can be amended by providing best practices and guidelines? Or are there also other barriers that need attention in policymaking and future research?
