Workshop “Civil Protection in the COVID-19 era: Business Continuity, adaptation and capacity development”


 13 and 14 April 2021
To debate the resilience of civil protection services in the face of multiple emergencies, through the identification of experiences and good practices in relation to business continuity plans for civil protection services. This aspect is particularly important, not only due to the possibility of future new pandemic waves that could eventually coincide with other significant emergencies in the EU (such as floods, fires or earthquakes), but also taking into account the current moment of implementation of the European Civil Protection Knowledge Network.
