The targeted project area is vulnerable to different types of natural disasters, particularly floods, landslides, earthquakes, forest fires, technical and technological accidents, that can cause human losses and damages, affecting economic stability and growth. The project proposal aims at strengthening cooperation of emergency management services of Serbia and Romania, with emphasis on their regional branches in the eligible area across the border, improving preparedness of the Serbian and Romanian regional protection and rescue units for response in case of joint intervention. The project will contribute to better preparedness of the whole cross border region for emergencies and disasters. Overall objective of project is to contribute to reducing the risks of disasters caused by floods and earthquakes in cross-border area of Serbia and Romania. Main outputs of project are: Procured equipment for protection and intervention in case of floods and earthquakes by the end of the project implementation. Trainings and joint field exercise for local protection and rescue units and other operational units are conducted by the end of project implementationDuring the implementation of this project, the capacity of the protection and rescue units will be improved through comprehensive education process, joint field exercise and procurement of necessary technical equipment, which will be owned by the Sector for Emergency Management in Serbia and „Drobeta” Inspectorate for Emergency Situation in Romania, and used by local operational units. Joint project team meetings and joint steering committee meetings held. Workshop and seminars for local authorities regarding joint intervention in case of floods and earthquake conducted by the end of project implementation. Specific working rules for joint intervention teams in case of floods and earthquake are elaborated, printed in three languages (Romanian, Serbian and English) and distributed. Regional cooperation in both prevention and mitigation of harmful consequences of all natural disasters is very important. Cooperation between the main operational units from target municipalities from both sides of the border will be secured through their active participation in numerous activities and events including joint meetings, seminars and workshop. Public awareness campaign through organization of workshops for young pupils from schools in the project area will be implemented. Press conferences on both sides of the border will be organized during project implementation. Promotional materials and educational brochures will be printed and distributed in the project areaPrevious experience and practice of other countries have shown that raising awareness of the general population about the risks natural disasters, and providing them with the relevant information and advice on what to do in case of floods and earthquakes, is among major elements in reducing the harmful effects on people, animals, economic and cultural assets and the environment. Disasters do not consider countries’ borders and can, therefore, threaten entire areas in neighboring countries, stating disaster risk management by definition a cross-border issue. Therefore, cross border cooperation in terms of good preparedness and capabilities of all relevant stakeholders in cases of emergency situations, as well as technical and procedural harmonization between the intervention teams, has a crucial importance to the timely and successful disaster response in border areas.
