Civil Protection Forum, Brussels, Belgium
25 November 2009 - 25 November 2009
Belgium
The third Civil Protection Forum will be held on 25 and 26 November in Brussels, Belgium.
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).For further information, please visit:
