Mobile applications are increasingly recognized as vital tools for disaster risk reduction (DRR) and management, particularly in the context of climate change, which exacerbates the frequency and severity of hazards. These apps leverage the widespread adoption of smartphones to enhance community preparedness and response by providing real-time information, interactive simulations, and personalized guidance. They offer advantages over traditional methods, such as timely, location-specific updates and engaging content that resonates with younger audiences. However, many existing applications are limited in scope, often focusing on specific stages of disaster risk management or particular hazard types, which hinders their effectiveness. To address these limitations, the CORE (sCience and human FactOr for a Resilient sociEty)project, funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 program, aims to enhance disaster resilience through innovative approaches that engage various societal sectors, including education. A key initiative within this framework is the CORE APP Competition, which targets high school students across Europe, encouraging them to develop mobile applications that promote community resilience. This initiative not only educates students on disaster preparedness but also empowers them to take an active role in risk management. The competition incorporates evidence-based risk communication assessments to evaluate its impact on students' risk perception. By employing validated measures of risk perception, the CORE project seeks to determine how participation in APP development influences students' understanding of disaster risks. This approach fosters a culture of preparedness and resilience among youth, ensuring that they are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate future challenges. Ultimately, the integration of mobile technology in DRR education represents a significant step toward building resilient communities capable of effectively responding to disasters
