Role of modern civil protection systems and the new global challenges: from the Hyogo Framework for Action to real time response
The workshop aimed at promoting the creation of a global civil protection network offering a wide range of tools aimed at providing a coherent and coordinated response to disasters cause by the impact of natural hazards under the umbrella of the United Nations system.
The Geneva meeting is an extremely important appointment, with an ambitious agenda: to summarise what has been done so far, to brainstorm together about the paths to follow in order to accelerate the international co-operation processes. Furthermore to present to those that operate in the area of humanitarian aid and of emergency intervention worldwide, and in particular to the United Nations and International Organisations, the co-operation and intervention forms we are already capable – today – to provide on the basis of the large experience gained by every Civil Protection Agency as regards to prompt and effective action in complex situations.
