Description

The overall objective of the first phase of PPRD East was to strengthen Eastern Partnership countries’ resilience, preparedness, and response to man-made and natural disasters. The main beneficiaries of this action were: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.

The purpose of the programme were:

  • to contribute to the development of the Partner Countries’ civil protection capacities for disaster prevention, preparedness, and response,
  • to bring the Partner Countries progressively closer to the EU Civil Protection Mechanism and improve cooperation amongst themselves.

The programme focused on:

  • increasing knowledge and awareness of disaster risk exposure in Partner Countries through the development of the Electronic Regional Risk Atlas (ERRA),
  • developing national capacities for assessing disaster risks,
  • training disaster responders on international coordination arrangements during disaster response,
  • triggering advances in the inter-institutional cooperation and coordination arrangements for disaster response in Partner Countries,
  • establishing national procedures for requesting assistance through the EU Emergency Response Coordination Centre,
  • incorporating EU disaster risk management practices into the national civil protection legislation of Partner Countries, and
  • planning and implementing awareness raising activities for exposed population.
