A resilient city is one that is prepared to withstand the many setbacks to which it may be subject, thanks to its ability to predict and monitor risks and ensure that the necessary measures are in place at all times to avoid major accidents. Under no circumstances should Lisbon residents and visitors live with a feeling of insecurity.

In the rescue and safety of people and property, in civil protection and road safety, in preventive action and in emergency situations, on every street and in every neighborhood, people must be sure that Lisbon has the teams and means necessary for a prompt and effective response. We will be innovative and reformist in these areas, using science and technology.

We will be attentive to the new phenomena, risks and problems typical of the big cities of our time, equipping Lisbon with the best practices found in the cities most affected by emerging security problems.
