Project description
A boost for preparedness and better practice in disasters
The pandemic, climate change, geopolitical conflicts, war and economic crises all highlight the need to protect citizens. The EU-funded PEERS project will enhance current policies regarding better practice in the European eco-system, through practitioner-driven pre-normative standardisation processes, which will be necessary for the safety and quality of life of workers throughout Europe. It will further support the improvement of preparedness and response in disaster risk reduction and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats. This way, it will mobilise EU stakeholders and policymakers to improve European endurance and adaptability to future changes.
Objective
The overall objective of PEERS is to advance and reinforce existing policy through practitioner-driven pre-normative standardisation processes, which will enhance the development of a European Better Practice ecosystem.
The project aims to support the effective strengthening of preparedness and response in the field of DRR and CBRN-e through standardisation. The ecosystem brings together Europe's disaster risk management for natural hazards and CBRN-E and European research policy-making, societal stakeholders standardisation bodies, and industry stakeholders to strengthen European resilience to all hazards through a comprehensive engagement and consultation governance mechanism.
