Emergency Communications as critical infrastructure: Resilience, cybersecurity and EU law explained

19 May 2026 at 14:30 CEST: Emergency Communications as critical infrastructure: Resilience, cybersecurity and EU law explained

How are emergency communications protected when crisis strikes, and do EU laws go far enough?

This webinar will present EENA’s latest report on the resilience and cybersecurity of emergency communications across Europe. We will examine how Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs), Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) fit within the EU frameworks established by the Critical Entities Resilience (CER) Directive and the NIS-2 Directive.

We will break down these complex legal frameworks, identify the concrete obligations they create, and review how Member States are transposing them into national law. We will also highlight the inconsistencies surrounding the classification of PSAPs as critical or essential entities.

Beyond EU law, we will examine NATO’s perspective on emergency communications resilience and the growing importance of civil-military cooperation in crisis response. Finally, we will discuss practical challenges, emerging best practices, and future developments in strengthening both the physical and cyber resilience of emergency communications.

Join this webinar to better understand what resilience means in practice for Europe’s emergency communications systems!
