OBJECTIVESOBJECTIVESTo improve the local and regional response to catastrophesand disasters through interregional collaboration acrossEurope:•Develop and improve methods and good practices to create an organisational model capable of coordinating, managing and optimising information, human and material resources
•Share the use of new information and communication technologies
•Improve the information and preparation of the public to increase the level of self-protection of citizens
•Enhance the coherence and integration of actions in the field of civil protection between regions across Europe, especially by the participation of the Eastern European countries considering their recent EU entry

The project SIPROCI• represents a rare example of large cooperation among 13 European
institutions/organisations of Civil Protection from 7 member states (including 4 Central&Eastern countries)
• Has favored the exchange of experience and information through specific technical sessions, exchange of staff, partecipation to exercises/simulations of civil protection carried out and promoted by each partner in their respective context;
• Has attempted to set up unified methodologies/models/procedures the most possible “neutral” against the various legal and administrative systems, specific political agendas of participants’ countries; models/procedures/methodologies that could be in case adopted by other Member States
• Has favored communication among partners via VoIP, internet, website, videoconferences.

Focus based on two major technical and communication mechnaims :
1. Local plan of civil protection: suggesting minimum standads or minimum contents of one of the most important command control mechanism of civil protection.
2. Glossary and visual signs of civil protection: improving communication among experts and raise citizens’ awareness on the role of civil protection and major risks posed by emergencies

3. Methodology for risk mapping based on technical knowledge applied in each participant countries. The innovation stands in the analysis and identification of leves of vulnerability and, as a consequence the levels of risk, as the expression and synthesis of the complex interaction of both the anthropic and the territorial systems.

4. Defining of an “Istruction manual” addressed to citizens and administrations which focuses on:
• Preparative communication, whose objective is to inform the general public about the civil protection system;
• Preventing communication whose objective is to inform the general public about events and crisis situations;
• Communication during the crisis situations (for predictable events and for unpredictable events);
• Communication according to different target groups (elderly and children).

Rationale• Recasting of the 2001 civil protection mechanim
hilights the importace, as a core contributions to reinforcing preparedeness with EU, of two main elements:
• Assessment of civil protection capabilities (building up scenarios);
• A modular approach (rapidely deployable and self-sufficient modules) .

Why a plan?Why a plan?Contents and aims of a local plan of civil protectionContents and aims of a local plan of civil protection
A Local plan of Civil Protection can be defined as: A plan drawn up by a local authority providing a set of organic data (territory’s main characteristics, risks, human resources and means etc.) and procedures (command-control system, alarm system, model of intervention) related to the overall organisation arrangement of the civil protection aiming at best responding to a given event and its consequences.

ObjectivesObjectives
•To make citizens aware of the role played by the civil protection which is not merely to be associated to crises and emergency and which indeed covers important phases as prevention, forecast and protection.
•Make people aware of the main mechnisms, tools and procedures developed at local level by local administrations, prime actors first called in to manage emergencies and safeguard people’s security and safety.
•Raise people awareness on the major facilities, shelters associated to emergency situations (rest-centre, assembly point, red zone area).
