![#8 Where It All Happens: are we ready? [Episode 8]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GUX--GnHDXI/mqdefault.jpg "#8 Where It All Happens: are we ready? [Episode 8]
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, *Marรญa Aperador* (@mariaperadorcriminologia) who will decode the current digital threats.
And, last but not least, we travel to Andalucรญa, Spain, and Podkarpackie, Poland, to discover how territories are getting ready for future challenges.
