When disasters strike, #solidarity lights the way.
Since 2001, the #EUCivilProtection Mechanism has been activated 700 times, channelling emergency assistance in and outside the #EU.
Besides EU countries, nine other states participate in the mechanism.
How does it work?
- A country can request assistance via our #Emergency Response Coordination Center (ERCC) – 24/7.
- Participating countries can offer assistance
- Once the offer is accepted, the ERCC coordinates the delivery of the aid.
