Overview of the programme HERE

 

On 13 October, we gathered in Brussels with decision-makers and stakeholders in the public safety and civil protection field, for the ‘Public warning & social media’ event. We heard from experts about public warning systems in Europe and the use of social media in crises, and we discussed what lessons we have learned from the recent attacks in Europe.

 

We would like to thank all speakers and attendees for joining us and for the excellent debates on where we are and the way forward!
