Establishing a comprehensive disaster management strategy would enable
Europe to improve its resilience; to better protect its citizens both
inside and outside Europe; and to become a stronger partner in the
management of emergencies on the international scene.
The forum aims to:
- strengthen Europe's emergency management capacity, focusing on
the prevention and preparedness phase of the emergency life cycle;
- develop the network between all civil protection actors and interested parties, including the private sector;
- increase the knowledge of new prevention, preparedness and response technologies available on the market;
- raise public awareness.
During three high-level debates, participants can pose questions to
ministers, director generals and leading researchers. In addition, six
practice-oriented seminars will examine how European civil protection
works in the field - integration with other international actors, three
major phases of an emergency (prevention, preparedness, and response)
and the roles of different stakeholders (institutions, civil protection
professionals and civil society).
