The scenario of the exercise, which was conducted simultaneously in Israel and Palestine with the participation of Jordan, was based on an earthquake scenario in the Jordan-Israel-Palestine region with the consequent activation of the European Civil Protection Mechanism and the cooperation with local emergency management agencies, EU Delegations in the region and the United Nations.

The PDEX project supports the analysis of the Civil Protection situation in the JIP region and aims to prepare a concrete and standardised regional and cross-border operating procedure (SOP) for a closer operational cooperation in case of a complex emergency. It also trains all parties on Host Nation Support (HNS) issues.
