National Civil Protection and disaster management capacities increasingly risk being overwhelmed by cascading or simultaneous disasters. The Covid-19 pandemic and Russia’s war on Ukraine have further revealed the need for better European preparedness for future large-scale emergencies, while displaying the limitations of the current framework.

EU Civil Protection Mechanism has new calls, you can submit your new project ideas. Two tenders are open for submission now:
