Welcome to the Union Civil Protection Knowledge Network!
Preventing, preparing for and responding to disasters requires strong cooperation, coordination at many levels and a combination of skills and expertise.
The Union Civil Protection Knowledge Network aims to strengthen the Union Civil Protection Mechanism in all these aspects. It brings together civil protection and disaster management actors to work together, collaborate and learn from each other with the objective of strengthening the EU’s overall ability and capacity to deal with disasters.
As the Knowledge Network grows and develops this online platform is going to grow with it, providing new opportunities to share knowledge and the stories of our civil protection and disaster management practitioners.
