Call for Applications on Cross-Border Disaster Risk Management

Eligible applicants include public bodies (national, regional, local) from border regions of the 27 EU Member States and EFTA countries, and cross-border structures. 

Cross-border cooperation enables border regions to develop into unified territories that better meet the needs of their residents, public administrations and businesses. By fostering cooperation on crisis management, these regions can effectively tackle common challenges.

This EU-funded project supports actors in border regions to enhance resilience through cross-border crisis management. With financial assistance from the European Commission,10 pilot actions in disaster risk management will be funded to help border regions achieve four goals:

• collaboratively plan with competent authorities across the entire cross-border territory
• enhance cross-border governance for crisis management
• foster contacts and information sharing across the border
• capitalise on the experience and provide examples for others
