CivPro
Over the last few years, Europe’s forest fires, floods and droughts and man-made disasters have become fiercer and more intense. Some partners in the CivPro project have their own sometimes tragic experiences and some of them have such a high risk profile that risk prevention is on the top of their political agenda. Disasters have quite often a devastating effect on people’s lives, their livelihood, the economy and the environment. This has led to a further strengthening of EU and national/regional instruments in terms of the civil protection legislation.
In the frame of the project, regions from 11 European countries joined forces to share their experience and knowledge in order to establish modalities and strengthen the link between crisis management and disaster prevention.
As an outcome of the project partners develop a European Training Center in Greece. By sharing the knowledge and experience acquired in the frame of the project, they develop improved governance models to introduce cross-cutting thinking and approaches to disaster prevention, for the purpose of establishing comprehensive national and regional policy approaches in terms of structures and organization.
