Second Civil Protection Forum

In times where natural and manmade disasters are on the increase, the debate on how to prevent, prepare for and respond to disasters never seems to cease. Moreover the adoption of new laws adds flavour to the subject. The Second Civil Protection Forum aims to bring together some 500 people involved or interested in civil protection. The forum will provide participants with a platform for the exchange of ideas and an opportunity to meet other people sharing the same interest or profession. Who is the forum for? The forum aims to address anyone interested in civil protection - other EU institutions; national civil protection authorities; local authorities; municipalities; civil protection intervention teams; staff of operational centres; academics; media and journalists; non-governmental organisations; international, national and local associations; services connected to civil protection such as police forces, health and education services; humanitarian aid organisations; volunteers; and the public at large. How is it organised? The forum, which will be held in Brussels, will have three keynote sessions as well as a number of specialised panel sessions. For full details please go to the conference programme page. In addition, the forum will feature some 50 exhibitors in indoor facilities and a smaller host of outdoor exhibitors. Entry to the forum premises and the indoor exhibition is strictly subject to registration.
