What do institutions mean when they refer to preparedness? Being ready for a pandemic, a natural disaster or a war...?
Citizens are giving meaning to preparedness in their own ways, but Europe is transforming it into a long-term vision of anticipation. In this episode, *Beatriz Rios* , a journalist from the Brussels bubble, helps us understand what this recurrent word means.
We hear from cybersecurity expert, *María Aperador* (@mariaperadorcriminologia) who will decode the current digital threats.
And, last but not least, we travel to Andalucía, Spain, and Podkarpackie, Poland, to discover how territories are getting ready for future challenges.
