Anticipate and Fight in a Common Space against Transboundary Risks - Gipuzkoa Aragon Navarra Pyrénées-Atlantiques

Closed

The territories along the border between the Atlantic-Pyrenees, Aragon, Navarra and Gipuzkoa are subject to many natural and human-related risks. Although these risks impact either side of the border, there is still insufficient operational coordination between the emergency services: problems of communication, coordination between the different actors in the field, compatibility of equipment, exchange of information and operational methodologies. In terms of civil security, the boundary between the various actors remains an important separation. The operational management of relief is a different approach in each country. The actors identified several axes of cooperation: - By communicating with each other the platforms for receiving emergency calls, the basis of any intervention - By collaborating field teams on identified risks - By harmonizing operational techniques Despite the desire for collaboration between the cross-border fire stations, the coordination deficit greatly affects the smooth running of operations and could have adverse consequences in the event of a serious situation. Faced with these findings, the civil security actors in these common spaces want to engage in long-term cross-border operational cooperation to improve the coverage of risks to people, property and the environment.
