A methodology for tracking and analysing the needs for standardisation and certification harmonisation will be defined and enforced by 17 partners of the VALKYRIES project financed by H2020. The new approach will allow the early identification of issues related to the conceptualisation, design, implementation, integration, and deployment of the EU disaster resiliency tools. A complete consultation strategy will facilitate the tool to the different stakeholders expected to act at each capability development `phase, ranging from providers to end-users.
VALKYRIES initiative will develop, integrate and demonstrate capabilities for enabling immediate and coordinated emergency response, including search and rescue, security and health, in scenarios of natural/provoked catastrophes with multiple victims, with special application in cases in which several regions or countries are affected and hence greater interoperability being required. H2020-VALKYRIES will propose both the design and development of a modular, interoperable, scalable and secure platform, which will allow the integration between legacy solutions and new technologies. The platform will deploy services and dynamically adapt its behaviour, as the emergency requires it.
The tool will be designed and proved through use cases and demonstrators emphasising cross-frontier and cross-sectorial BLOS (Beyond Line of Sight) scenarios.
The Vilnius Security Forum 2021 centres on the western readiness to respond to hybrid threats. The forum gathers specialists on 26th March in Vilnius and going online through webinar formats.
We aim to develop a Risk Assessment Support Tool in support of the policy- and decision-makers in systematising the interactions between related sectors/disciplines (intervention areas) to the positive effects of a given policy (characterised as one of several management options) are enhanced. The negative impacts across sectors/disciplines are identified and adequately addressed/mitigated.
Please help us improve our knowledge on disaster risk reduction by completing CRISPRO survey on multi-hazards and combined threats with cascading effects related to crisis leadership management.
Natural, technological (man-made) and biological risk management practices require a comprehensive understanding of the interactions and interdependencies of the related natural, technological and societal systems. Risk assessment can be challenging even for the impacts of a single natural hazard on a single facility. The focus is the multiple and/or combined hazards and multiple interacting facilities at the same time. One needs to also bear in mind domino events and consequences with cascading impacts (e.g. via business interruption), requiring a comprehensive and multi-vulnerability risk assessment involving complex chain(s) severity considerations.
We aim to enhance the community governance and resilience for emergency preparedness and disaster management and link prevention with financial and policy decisions to management interventions. We will work the tools for planning and re-considering on by moving up and down the cause-effect line to easily elucidate the nature and magnitude of the interactions and disaster effects:
To map simultaneous, cascading, even disconnected, but temporally subsequent, hazards or threats which complicate organisational responses. These various forms of interdependency are short- and mid-term future.
To develop a comparative set of approaches to addressing the important challenges to modern civil protection.
To develop an online tool for assessing organisational and prevention methods for mitigating at least some aspects of disasters and risks expected.
To stress on the interdependency of modern threats/risks;
To focus on the need for economic efficiency;
To adapt to the changing nature of communication.
To examine the challenges in the context of community response practices and high-impact events driving system adaptations;
To link the system adaptations with political and economic windows of opportunity to determine changes in structural and non-structural prevention measures.
This is the first post on this web, which is dedicated to the implementation of the project CRISPRO.
We would like to warmly welcome you. We are happy that you are with us. At the same time, we would like to encourage you to be active and to participate on our activities and discussions. We believe, that we can improve civil protection together.

The SAVOIE Fire and Rescue Services (SDIS 73 / SAVOY FRS) is in charge of prevention, protection and fight against fires and disasters of all types. It became an independent departmental structure since the year 2000 and was, before, based on a local scale. They work each day with other services and professionals involved in the protection and control of accidents and disasters. PPI also intervenes in assessing and preventing technological or natural hazards and in a medical emergency.
Fire services as SDIS 73 carry out the following tasks:
• Prevention and assessment of civil protection risks,
• preparedness of safeguard measures and emergency response organisation
• Protection of peoples, goods and environment,
• Emergency relief to victims of accidents or disasters, as well as their medical evacuation.
The 2,500 firefighters provide coverage of the current risks from 80 fire stations grouped. Specialised teams complement these operational units (Mountain Rescue, lifeguarding, R&R, Hazmat…) trained to respond to particular threats in addition to the current risk. In 2019, SDIS 73 received 133.347 emergency calls from 2 call numbers: 18 (French firefighters phone number) and 112 (European Emergency call number). This call has led to 38.000 interventions (82% of them were medical or paramedical assistance), with an average of 98 responses per day. In 2019 year, SDIS 73 rescued 33,000 victims. The other interventions spread on a broad scope from fires (10 %) to road incidents and hazmat.
The rescue services organisation advocates for a safe society monitors and anticipates social development, and participates in social discussion.
• gather information about social development, monitor and evaluate policy programmes and strategies.
• participate in strategy and legislative work as experts.
