Regional Emergency Committees
The Regional Emergency Committees were created in 1999 by Law No. 8448 to advise the National Commission for Risk Prevention and Emergency Care and to monitor its work. The emergencies these committees works with are diverse in nature, such as environmental or health emergencies. By 2020, there are six Regional Committees in Costa Rica, which are composed of representatives from public institutions, emergency care agencies, and non-governmental organizations.

Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?

Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
