OBJECTIVES
To improve local and regional response to disasters through interregional collaboration across Europe Exchange and develop methods and good practices to
improve the organisational model with regards to the coordination and management of information, human and material resources
Share the use of new Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
Improve communication and information to the public to increase the level of preparation and self-protection of citizens
Enhance the coherence and integration of actions in the field of Civil Protection between regions across Europe, especially by the participation of the Eastern European countries considering their (imminent) EU entry
METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH
AREAS OF COOPERATION Mechanisms for coordination, management and
organisation of the civil protection system The use of new information and communication
technologies Methods, techniques and instruments for how to
monitor and map risks Methods and tools for efficient information and
preparation of the citizens
METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH
ACTION PHASE I – EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION
ACTION PHASE II – EXCHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT OF METHODS AND GOOD PRACTICES

METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHACTION PHASE I:EXCHANGE OF INFORMATIONMay 2004-October 2004 (6 months)
Exchange of Information of each-others CP system
– Analysis of the different CP systems, local mechanisms, plans, ICT systems used, types of risks, methods for informing citizens, etc.
– Constraints, interests and opportunities.
Outcome
Factfinding Reportwww.siproci.net
METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHACTION PHASE II: EXCHANGE & DEVELOPMENT OF METHODS AND GOOD PRACTICES Oct. 2004–Sept. 2005 4 TRANSNATIONAL WORKING GROUPS
- WG1: Mechanisms for coordination, management and organisation of the civil protection system - WG2: The use of new ICT - WG3: Methods, techniques & instruments for how to monitor and map risks- WG4: Methods and tools for efficient information and preparation of the citizens
Outcome
4 WG Reports: methods, strategies,
good practices
METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHACTION PHASE III:TRANSFER & APPLICATION TO THE LOCAL SYSTEMOctober 2005-November 2006 (14 months)
Establishment of “task-forces” in each partner country responsible to test and try out results and outcomes through pilot activities in the territory
Target Groups:- Experts, volunteers, actors involved in various CP activities- Population - Local CP system
Activities carried out:– Seminars, conferences, exhibitions, Info Days– Training sessions, lectures and practical exercises – 7 Full-scale disaster simulations (forest fire, tornado, earthquake,
indusrtrial accidents) – Staff exchanges and study visits
METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHACTION PHASE IV: COMMUNICATION & DISSEMINATION During entire project
CHANNELS: Dissemintaion & communication activities in connection with
various project actions carried out (seminars, info days, simulations, etc.)

Recasting of the 2001 civil protection mechanism highlights the importance of reinforcing preparedeness:
– The assessment of civil protection capabilities (build scenarios to help identify available resources)
– A modular approach (rapidely deployable and self-sufficient modules)
A) WHY A PLAN? CONTENTS AND AIMS OF A LOCAL PLAN OF CIVIL PROTECTION
A local Plan of Civil Protection can be defined as: A plan drawn up by a local authority providing a set of organic data (territory’s main characteristics, risks, human and material resources, etc.) and procedures (command-control system, alarm system, model of intervention) related to the overall organisational arrangement of Civil Protection aiming to best respond to a given event and its consequences.

A) GLOSSARY
ObjectivesObjectives
• To provide citizens with useful terms that, together with a set of essential signs, will help guide peoples’ behaviour in emergency situations
• To make citizens aware of the role played by CP which goes far beyond merely dealing with emergency situations but in addition encompass complex activities of forecasting, prevention and protection.
• To make people aware of the main mechanisms, tools and procedures developed by local authorities, the prime actors called in to manage emergencies and safeguard people’s security and safety

- DISASTER - EVENT - EXPECTED EVENT - UNPREDICTABLE EVENT - HAZARD - RISK - RISK ASSESSMENT - RISK MAPS - THRESHOLD - VULNERABILITY
A) RISK MAPPING – A PROPOSAL FOR A COMMON EUROPEAN METHODOLOGY
WG3 analysed and compared methods for Risk Mapping among different countries, selecting and proposing one best method, mainly based upon the one already successfully applied in the Province of Macerata
Risk Mapping is the process of identifying areas and their different risk exposure
This process shows the level of expected losses which can be expected in a given area, during a particulr time span, when struck by a set of hazards

Integrated platform:
D) BETTER LOCAL AND REGIONAL RESPONSE TO NATURAL AND MANMADE DISASTERS CITIZENS:
- active participation in info activities, exercises better consciousness, correct behaviour,
how to act and where to go- strategies, tools and instruments designed and tested
powerful instruments to involve citizens
EXPERTS & ACTORS of CP:- participation in WGs, training sessions, simulations,
study visits, etc.improved professional skills, better
knowledge of different risks and organsiational models, improved capacity to cooperate & interact with other actors of the CP system, local & European level
D) BETTER LOCAL AND REGIONAL RESPONSE TO NATURAL AND MANMADE DISASTERSORGANISATIONS MAKING UP THE CP SYSTEM:- Establishment of links and relations among authorities &
organisations at local and European level - Preparation of new joint initiatives and cooperations- Implementation of several full-scale disaster simulations,
which have brought an important number of key actors together
Better capacity to interact with eachother, to cooperate and to respond to
natural and manmade disaters
