The EU co-funded project builds up disaster resilience and preparedness in remote areas by enhancing practices for response operations. It supports the integration of small expert response teams in overall response efforts.
Project features 3 exercises. A Table-Top Exercise focuses on Host Nation Support guidelines and procedures, a Command Post Exercise features urban-wildland interface and response to remote areas, and the project culminates to the Full-Scale Field Exercise to be conducted in the Tyrolean Alps in 2027.
