AER Emergency Planning network

Mark Lomas

Floods, earthquakes, fire, a major accident...

How should regions react? How can a region prepare for such emergencies?

Until 2010 the AER Emergency Planning network aimed to:

    • Raise awareness and disseminate knowledge on successful strategies and tools for risk prevention and crisis management.
    • Collect information on best and worst practice
    • Encourage cooperation between AER member regions and with external partners
    • Stimulate the development of instruments and services specifically for emergency planning and response.

    FLINKMAN project

    The FLINKMAN project aimed to improve flood risk management through the development of an overarching framework that allows all actors involved in flood management to be linked.
    More specifically, the project intended to improve the handling of best practices across the EU by the development of new support tools, to promote transnational cooperation with competent bodies in Europe and to develop existing civil protection modules further.

    The FLINKMAN project was led by the region of Central Macedonia (GR) but also involved the Province of Noord-Brabant (NL), the region of Hessen (D), the Balkan Environmental Center (GR) and the Sigma Consultants Ltd. (GR).
    It was co-financed by the European Commission under the Civil Protection Financial Instrument and run from January 2010 until December 2011.

    As partner, the AER disseminated information on the project’s progress and outcomes to AER members and helped the partners identify interested stakeholders that could contribute to the project.

    For further information, see also the website of the Flinkman project.
