New catalogue sets out overview of EU Civil Protection Pool Capacities

By Knowledge Network – Staff memberPublished on

A new booklet presents the main features of the full list of ECPP response capacities to civil protection practitioners.

For this reason, Directorate General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid (DG ECHO) has now created a user-friendly communication and interactive product to illustrate the typology of ECPP capacities and their main features as defined in the UCPM legislation (mainly annex II and III of Implementing Decision 2014/762/EU). 

  • As of today, the ECPP boasts more than 130 response capacities which are particularly diverse and enable the UCPM to respond to many different types of disasters.
  • The objective of this booklet is to present the main features of the ECPP response capacities to civil protection practitioners at all levels. 
  • The capacities are grouped by theme, in an easily accessible and reader-friendly manner. For each response capacity, you will find a description with elements from the UCPM legislation and the main features of existing ECPP capacities.
  • The catalogue also includes a graphic representation of the types of capacities available in the ECPP to allow an immediate understanding of their appearance and capabilities. 
  • There is also a link to the ECPP maps which show the geographic distribution of the ECPP capacities on the territory of the EU and the UCPM Participating States.
