Date: (26-06-2024)
From June 24th to June 26th, 2024, a Mobile Education and Training Team from the Crisis Management and Disaster Response Centre of Excellence (CMDR COE) conducted an intensive "Crisis Management and Disaster Response" course at the Government House in Chisinau, Moldova.
The course was attended by 44 participants from the Parliament, the State Chancellery, the President's Office, various national services and agencies, and 12 different Moldavian ministries. Over three days, these officials delved into a comprehensive agenda that included topics such as NATO Crisis Management and NATO Crisis Response System, Disaster Response and Humanitarian Assistance, EU Civil Protection Mechanism, Disaster Risk Reduction, Military Resilience through Civil Preparedness, the use of Apps and Tools in Support of Disaster Management and many other topics.
Each afternoon, the participants engaged in syndicate work, where they collaboratively answered questions related to crisis management. This hands-on approach was further reinforced by a mini exercise based on a specially designed scenario, culminating in a computer simulation that implemented the results of their efforts.
The successful completion of this course marks a significant step in strengthening Moldova's resilience and preparedness for crisis situations. Participants expressed their appreciation for the opportunity to gain advanced knowledge and practical skills, which will be instrumental in their respective roles.
