Last week we had our weekly team meeting in person (pictures made by our CEO), where we had the chance to discuss the ongoing EU MODEX - EUCPT-Tast project next steps. We had a long but very fruitful planning meeting regarding future projects.
We also discussed our task sharing, implemented new ideas to work even more effective and efficient. It is also important that we as a team can reflect and exchange on our work, because work is giving you every day new challanges to master.

We look forward to future challenges that we will master again successfully as a team. 🥳💪

Today is the International Day for Disaster Reduction! We asked Europeans which disasters they feel most exposed to. 🤔

The latest survey shows that most EU citizens feel most at risk from climate change, security issues, and social challenges.

These insights will help the EU boost disaster preparedness efforts across Europe.

The Civil Protection Forum offered not just to meet new colleagues, but also to meet "old friends". Harald M. Fellner and Joe Riener met Dr Brigitta Sáfár, who participated in the workshop “Behavioural Dimension of Disaster Prevention and Climate Adaptation,” on behalf of the Hungarian Red Cross. They met Dr Tamás Tímár, too, who works in the Hungarian Civil Protection Service as a firefighter specialised in environmental and fire safety engineering.
We had the opportunity to exchange about possible future collaborations with our experts, with whom we have been working together for several years.

It's important that we can build on our specialist team of experts for our ongoing
and future projects so that we can maximise our outcome.

Do you want to know more about our ongoing projects and future? Check out the following interview with our CEO, Harald M. Fellner

Q.: publiComm is involved in a new project. Can you tell us some details about publiComm’s role?

Harald: publiComm is a subcontractor in cycle 12 from EU MODEX EUCPT-TAST, Lot4 project.
Our company is involved and responsible for project administration, services and purchases, meeting management, continuous media coverage, dissemination and visibility for the project, and support for the visibility of the UCPM. The consortium members are the Department for Emergency Situations (DSU) as coordinator (Romania), the Italian Civil Protection Department (ICPD), Wicklow County Council (WCC) and Cabildo Insular de Tenerife (Spain) (CIT) with the subcontractors Austrian Red Cross (ARC) and publiComm GmbH (PCC).
The project aims to conduct two field exercises for the EUCPT and TAST.

Q.: Can you give us some more information about the two exercises?

The consortium offers two advisory/scoping mission exercises based on scenarios inspired by authentic disasters: the volcanic eruption in La Palma, Spain in 2021 and the wildfires in southwest Ireland the same year. The first exercise will take place in spring 2025, in Wicklow County and the second exercise will happen in autumn 2025, in Tenerife. It will bring a realistic mission experience of an advisory/scoping mission with high training value and interoperability for all participants and stakeholders. It will run for four and a half days. The approach of an advisory mission will, in contrast to a response mission exercise, allow all European Civil Protection (EUCPT) members and the Technical Assistance Support Teams (TAST) at multiple levels to work with different stakeholders in a realistic, functional and safe environment.

Q.: What are the plans for the future of publiComm?

We are not just involved in the UCPM projects, we also work additionally in printing and publishing books around disaster management, humanitarian aid and civil protection, explains Harald. After our latest reference book „Krisen und Katastrophen managen“(Managing crisis and disasters), written in German for German-speaking readers, which was printed in our publishing house and edited by Josef H. Riener, two new pocket guides are in work in collaboration with our partner from ‚Die Krisenplaner‘.
We have also been involved in several projects in the last years at the EUCPM. I am confident that we will also have new collaborations in the future. I don’t want to reveal too much, but we will also be present in future projects.
