In accordance with Section 12(e) and (f) of Act No 42/1994 of the National Council of the Slovak Republic on civil protection, the Ministry of the Interior organises and manages the civil protection information system and lays down the basic technical and operational conditions of that system. In accordance with this Act, the Civil Protection Information System shall consist of a loud service and a Civil Protection Information Service, whereby the reporting service shall provide early warning of residents and notification of persons involved in dealing with the consequences of an emergency and municipalities of the threat or occurrence of an emergency (hereinafter referred to as population warning and notification of persons). Pursuant to Section 2(3)(f) of Decree No 388/2006 of the Ministry of the Interior, the warning of the population and the notification of persons are provided through public electronic communications networks. The Slovak Republic is obliged to ensure the warning of the population in accordance with the applicable legislation (Act No 452/2021 on electronic communications, as amended) also by sending warning and emergency messages to the end-users concerned. In view of the fact that, in order to comply with this obligation, the Slovak Republic implements Cell Broadcast technology, it is necessary to ensure that mobile phone operating systems are correctly set up in the territory of the Slovak Republic upon receipt via that technology and defined message categories in accordance with the European standard ETSI TS 102 900 EU-ALERT. The Crisis Management Section of the Ministry of the Interior of the Slovak Republic and the Research Institute of Communications n.o. and the Ministry of Transport of the Slovak Republic are currently cooperating on the text of the technical standardisation information for the purpose of implementing the European Public Warning System in accordance with ETSI TS 102 900 EU-ALERT and 3GPP TS 23.041 of the Standard for the Technical Implementation of the Cell Broadcast Service (CBS) . Subsequently, at the end of 2024, on the basis of the agreed text of the technical standardisation information, Decree No 388/2006 of the Ministry of the Interior of the Slovak Republic will be amended, adding details of the warning by electronic communication networks. Under these obligations under national legislation, the MVSR is responsible for ensuring technically that providers of mobile number-based interpersonal communications services transmit public warnings to the end-users concerned in accordance with the requirements of Article 110 of the ‘Public Warning System’ of Directive (EU) 2018/1972 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 establishing the European Electronic Communications Code (the Code). Article 110 of the Code, entitled ‘Public warning system’, provides as follows: By 21 June 2022, Member States shall ensure that providers of mobile number-based interpersonal communications services (‘enterprise’) transmit public warnings to affected end-users, including in-roamers, located in geographical areas potentially at risk of imminent or emerging major emergencies and disasters during the warning period, based on the designation of competent authorities. In order to inform end-users entering a Member State of the existence of such public warning systems, that Member State should ensure that those end-users receive, automatically, without undue delay and free of charge, easily understandable information by SMS relating to the receipt of public warnings, including through mobile terminal equipment not active for internet access services. The subject of the project is to increase the level of preparedness of the Early Warning System of the population in case of emergencies. By its nature, the project fulfils the objectives of the call to support climate change adaptation and disaster risk prevention and resilience, taking into account ecosystem-based approaches, with a view to modernising technologies and deploying targeted early warning systems for populations, extending their territorial accessibility, as well as developing, maintaining and strengthening forecasting and alert systems, including monitoring all disaster risks conducive to reducing the damage caused by them. The aim of the project is also based on the requirements of several strategic documents, in particular the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 (Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030), in which the Slovak Republic is committed to supporting the achievement of objectives in particular in the field of disaster prevention, preparedness and resilience. As part of the global objectives, the Sendai Framework calls for a significant increase in the availability of early warning systems. The creation of the Sendai Framework and the tasks arising from it were objectively conditioned by significant climate change, which caused natural disasters to affe
