The aim of this online event was to provide the attendees with basic knowledge to NATO Crisis Management, NATO Crisis Response System, its complementary elements - NATO Crisis Management Process, Civil Emergency Planning and Operations Planning and Building Resilience through Civil Preparedness.
The Crisis Management and Disaster Response course is the Center’s overarching course giving the whole picture of the Crisis and Disaster Management processes within the International community and particular – in NATO. The interest in this course increases with each iteration.
The course participants highly appreciated the lectures of guest instructors from OSDIFE (Observatory on Security and CBRN Defense) – Mr Stefano Scaini and from NATO MILMED COE, Dr Silke Ruhl. All the trainees received a profound knowledge on the Crisis and Consequence Management of CBRN and IED (Improvised Explosive Devices) threats, and in addition they got the perspective on Infectious diseases, Outbreaks, Epidemics and Pandemics. The course was attended by representatives of different civil and military structures and institutions from Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Greece, Germany, Jordan, Morocco, Poland, Romania, Ukraine and United Kingdom.
The course objectives were achieved and complemented by detailed and productive teamwork in a virtual classroom reality.
