Prevention and disaster management across borders

The main goal of the project is to improve disaster management skills in the region by training volunteer firefighters, running preventive awareness campaigns, and providing professional firefighting equipment. It also focuses on developing educational tools and training for environmental protection and emergency preparedness, especially targeting children and youth.

Within our project we will train 60 volunteer fire fighter, will be organizing local trainings but also joint practical exercises. In order to improve the better preparedness of the inhabitants too, we will organize several awareness raising events for different target groups.
On each border-side we will organize 3 awareness raising campaign for parents/mothers in different localities, each 2 hours long, focusing on the risks, accidents occurred in household, focusing on the possible and most frequent risks, presenting the most efficient firs aid techniques applicable on infants and little kids.
In order to prevent risks, we will organize campaigns for pupils too.
Each partner will organize 6 events, each with a duration of 2 hours. At one event we expect at least 25 pupils, in total 150 pupils on each side of the border at this campaign.
With the purpose of familiarize the protecting and life saving activity of the different uniform units, both partners in 2-2 different localities will organize large events named Public Safety Day. With these occasion we will have presentations and different demonstration activities in order to create a better understanding and to increase the trust in different uniform units. With these occasion too we will present prevention exercises, which will all lead to a better preparedness of the participant pupils against risk.
The project partners intention with this project is also to co-work in matter of risk prevention and disaster management. The goal is to harmonize the actions of the volunteer fire fighter units in order to have prepared volunteers who are able to help the professional units in case of disaster.
For this reason, Lead Partner take the responsibility to coordinate the process which will lead to a joint prevention and intervention protocol between the volunteer fire fighter units.
Beside volunteer firefighter training and prepared inhabitants through best practices against risks and to learn new skills in life saving techniques, professional help is also needed, therefore we will invest in the safety of the region.

By means of the project we will procure for the local volunteer firefighter unit following tools and equipment: fire engines, quick intervention car, drone, electric breaker, generator, breathing apparatus, fire axe, protective equipment for volunteers.
