The project addresses the problem of emergency situations, mainly floods but also all kinds of natural and man made hazards potentially harmful to the environment such as: traffic accidents (e.g. involving tank trucks loaded with dangerous substances which should be immediately removed), unexploded ammunition (which by accidental explosion in case of mishandeling could cause disasters to environment and human life). In what concerns the floods, they are extremely dangerous in both regions envisaged by the project. In Polski Trambesh there are numerous floods on the Yantra river and its tributary Elija. In Calarasi County, more than 1,000 interventions of Inspectorate for Emergency Situations took place over the past 10 years while the overall damage caused by floods in the region amounts to millions of euros. The main problem blocking an effective mitigation of those consequences is the lack of a modern system for forecasting and early warning of flood events. The project main objective is to improve the joint risk management in the cross-border region. The main activities are related to Setting up the Flood Forecasting and Early Warning System in Polski Trambesh, setting up an emergency management system (including early warning and respons actions) in Calarasi County (the system will include an Information System and specialized equipment) and joint activities (exercises and concluding an Action plan). The result of the project will be a better protection of environment and population in the cross-border are against the natural and man-made hazards, thus contributing to the achievement of programme indicators for PA 3.
