Emergency services operate very differently across continents. Even within the same country, there can be differences in the structure, technologies and procedures of each organisation. Facing a variety of challenges, emergency response requires continuous adaptation and improvements.

In this ever-changing context, EENA has decided to launch a new series of webinars that will focus on emergency communications reforms in European countries.

 In June, officials from the  Administration of the Republic of Slovenia for Civil Protection and Disaster Relief, Ministry of Defence shared their experience and plans with the EENA community.

What have we learnt?
