This Saturday, September 16, and Sunday, September 17, 2023, at Parc Phoenix, metropolitan experts will gather to show you the right actions to take in the event of major natural risks.
Because prevention is better than cure, the city of Nice regularly organizes conferences to raise public awareness of major natural risks. The goal is to be able to adopt the right actions quickly and thus protect oneself as best as possible. Indeed, the metropolitan area is exposed to various natural risks: floods, fires, tsunamis, earthquakes…
Thus, during this weekend for both young and old, many fun activities will be set up. It will be an opportunity to discover an earthquake simulator, augmented reality headset immersions, or a flood demonstration. Finally, various stands with metropolitan experts will be there to delve deeper into these issues with you.
