By Knowledge Network – Staff memberPublished on

EU TAFF draft guidelines on inclusive emergency preparedness - invitation to review.

As part of Action 33 of the Preparedness Union Strategy (PUS), aimed at developing inclusive emergency guidelines, a study on good practices at EU level has been conducted.

Under the EU Technical Assistance Facility Framework (EU TAFF), which supports Member States in strengthening preparedness and response capacities, this work contributes to the development of the “How to Act in Emergencies” guidelines.

The first draft of these guidelines has now been prepared, comprising two complementary documents: guidelines for persons with disabilities, and guidelines for first responders.

Stakeholders are invited to review the drafts and provide feedback on their content, level of detail, and overall structure. A consultation process is being organised, including exchanges with Civil Protection authorities and Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs).
