EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

The rescEU-CBRN-DSIM-IT project is set to strengthen the EU’s capacity to address CBRN threats in the context of large events. This initiative, part of the broader rescEU programme aimed at enhancing disaster preparedness across the EU, within the framework of the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism, aims to provide a fleet of 11 specialized vehicles, including state-of-the-art DSM vehicles for rapid response, mobile laboratories for on-site analysis, and support vehicles equipped for logistics and operations. The modular capacity developed by the project is expected to be deployed in the context of large-scale events in prevention of and response to CBRN incidents and accidents. Additionally, it incorporates Extended Reality (XR) technology for operator training, ensuring a skilled response team ready for deployment to safeguard public health and safety.

EULEAD 3 continues the mission of its previous phases, aiming to aid Libya’s institutional development towards becoming a stable, operational country. Following on the success of Phases I and II, Phase III focuses on deploying expertise in stabilization and human security, ensuring Libyan institutions function in a conflict-sensitive and human rights-compliant manner. The project aligns with efforts by the European Union, international partners, and Libyan stakeholders, enhancing stability and laying the foundation for long-term reforms.

eNOVATION focuses on teaching and training for first and second responders and provides them with adequate user-friendly technologies and tools that enable them to improve the global risk assessment on-site and provide better protection to the practitioners and the population potentially exposed. eNOVATION aims to expand the CBRN eNOTICE Training Centre (TC) network by including CBRN Center of Excellence Regional Offices and CBRN CoE of partner countries as key contributors. The main goal of the project is to create a functional structure that meets the operational needs of the entire Security community for CBRN crisis preparedness and response. Key aspects of eNOVATION’s action include providing access to upgraded capacity labeled TCs, advanced training methods using technologies like VR/XR, user-friendly on-site tools and technologies to security practitioners, updated policies and crisis management adapted to new threats and enhanced CBRN marketplace access.

The eNOTICE-2 project aims to enhance preparedness for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) events, whether they arise from deliberate, accidental, or natural causes. Building on the insights, gaps, and needs identified by the eNOTICE Network of Practitioners, the project focuses on improving overall readiness and response capabilities for major cross-border crises involving CBRN agents or their combinations. A wide range of stakeholders are engaged in this effort, including CBRN practitioners, technology developers, policymakers, and civilian volunteers.
