MAGNITUDE PROJECT
The Magnitude Project, funded by the European Union, is set to unfold between 2024 and 2025 with a clear mission: to elevate disaster risk reduction capacities within Europe. Our focus extends to Germany, as well as our neighboring nations of Switzerland and Austria.
Embracing a spirit of continual improvement, EU member states have identified the Union Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM) as a vital knowledge hub and resource for disaster risk management. Through active participation in UCPM initiatives within this project, our aim is to glean invaluable insights and capabilities, particularly in areas where empirical data is lacking.
The Magnitude Project is a comprehensive series of capacity-building activities in disaster risk management, engaging stakeholders at all levels of government and citizens, particularly those in vulnerable categories. Participants immerse themselves in UCPM guidelines and protocols, nurturing cross-border collaboration refined over years of successful practice.
Our objectives extend beyond mere operations; our activities are designed to cultivate robust networking among stakeholders, fostering enhanced coordination and communication. Through regular dialogue at operational levels, we anticipate synergistic effects that benefit domestic stakeholders and counterparts in partner countries.
Central to our project is a full-scale exercise focused on an earthquake scenario. Given scientific projections, seismic activity looms as a credible natural disaster, potentially triggering cascade effects that could encompass CBRN incidents, substantial property damage, and casualties.
HEURECA PROJECT
HEUREKA Project – Civil Protection Knowledge Partnership Platform Middle East, funded by the European Union and implemented in 2021-2023 served as a beacon of collaboration and knowledge exchange in the realm of disaster risk management within the Middle East region.
Our aim? To bridge the gap between knowledge holders and humanitarian actors, fostering enhanced coordination, cooperation, compatibility, and complementarity across available capacities.
HEUREKA served as a vital bridge between diverse stakeholders in the field of disaster management, connecting the European Union with its Southern Neighbourhood, particularly the Middle East. With 9 partners spanning Austria, Cyprus, Palestine, and Lebanon, the project acted as a conduit for cross-border exchange and cooperation in the area of disaster risk reduction. At the heart of HEUREKA lies the collection and dissemination of knowledge, experience, expertise, skills, competencies, lessons learned, and best practices. Through close collaboration with civil protection and disaster management authorities, as well as knowledge holders from the public and private sectors, HEUREKA stimulated research, innovation, and a shared understanding of prevention, preparedness, and response.
PROFESSIONAL
DIALOGTUE PROJECT
The Professional Dialogue – Jordan Israel Palestine Project, supported by funding from the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism (EUCP), was implemented from 2021 to 2023.
Situated within the unique sub-region of Jordan, Israel, and Palestine, our project served as a pivotal platform for enhancing disaster risk reduction efforts.
The project took a comprehensive approach to improving disaster risk prevention and preparedness. This included assessing disaster risk reduction situations, developing risk assessments, joint disaster management guidelines, conducting trainings, workshops and exercises. Additionally, a Joint Full-Scale Exercise (FSX) is performed, followed by a thorough evaluation that includes a Lessons Learned process and recommendations for the way ahead.
At the heart of our project lies the belief in the power of collaboration and dialogue. By bringing together stakeholders from diverse backgrounds and experiences, we aim to empower communities, strengthen preparedness, and enhance response capabilities in the face of disasters.
This project serves as one example of increasing disaster risk reduction capacities in conflict regions. By addressing disaster preparedness and response within the context of conflict, we strive to build resilience and mitigate the impacts of disasters in some of the world’s most challenging environments.
Civil Protection Review Serbia
