Emergency Response

Projet terminé

Epidemiological threats, natural disasters, terrorism attacks are global challenges. If a security accident is not properly managed by all security operators involved it could rapidly turn into a catastrophe with dramatic consequences for the Polish population and impact on EU security as well. The project will consistently contribute to the EU border protection. The Emergency Response Training will build capacities of the relevant emergency response management teams (in hospitals, police, public administration, border police), and train future trainers who should ensure the dissemination of the know how at a later stage.

Trainings on crisis management (terrorism attacks, epidemiological threats, etc.) to relevant local decisions makers and operators at the borders are impellent in order to coordinate and harmonize procedures and standards in crisis response.
