INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE

INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MECHANISMS AND DISASTER RISK REDUCTION

15 SEPTEMBER 2022
STATIONARY & ONLINE

The main objective of the conference is to exchange good practices and experiences in the scope of international mechanisms for prevention and response on crisis situations and disasters as well as to initiate a discussion on improving disaster risk reduction. 

COVID-19 pandemic, war in Ukraine and hybrid threats indicate a need to strengthen international cooperation to cope with crisis situations and disasters with global reach. Co-existing phenomena and cascading effects influence on particular countries and international organisations (UN, NATO, EU). Thus, close cooperation in disaster risk reduction is so important to be better prepared, to more effectively respond to hazards, to limit relevant consequences more comprehensively and efficiently and to recover societies affected in the direction of ‘build back better’. 

The conference will be a platform of exchange for ideas, research results and solutions which connect theory and practice of disaster risk reduction in the field of emergency mechanisms. An ambition is to develop existing and to initiate new networks comprising decision makers, public administration, public services, armed forces, academia, non-governmental organisations and local disaster risk reduction leaders to be more flexible and prepared for XXI century safety and security challenges.

On the 15th September the Main School of Fire Service (SGSP) was previlaged to host plenty of partners at an international scientific conference on international emergency mechanisms and disaster risk reduction. Conference took place both in a stationary way and online.

Conference was held under honorary patronage of The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) and Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland Mr. Mateusz Morawiecki.

Formally the venet was opened by our Rector-Commandant Brig. Gen. Mariusz Feltynowski, PhD Eng., SGSP profesor and Mrs. Beata Janowczyk from The Government Centre for Security. It was one of the biggest conference from SGSP’s side as a host.

For all participants it was a unique opportunity to exchange thoughts and discuss the best practices to prove that disaster risk reduction is built not only on frameworks and political decisions but also on direct operational response on disasters.

The main purpose of the conference was also to share experiences in the scope of international mechanisms for prevention and response on crisis situations and disasters as well as to iniciate a discussion on improving disaster risk reduction. Also to prepare ground for future discussions, built strategy and complex risk scenarios to predict snd prepare for the future disasters.

First opening speaches from partners side were dedicated to spokepersons from United Nations Offices on introduction to current challenges in risk reduction especially about the climate, weather impact, European Civil protection mechanism (UCPM). Later on started direct speaches from our guests from aboroad and from our Rector-Commandant about INSARAG. From SGSP’s side was also shown a short video about about our cadets training base.

During conference participants from wide range of countries (Poland, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Spain, France, Latvia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, United States, Japan, Israel, Australia, Equador) debated during panels about topics such as:  UN, NATO and EU mechanisms in disaster risk reduction, local initiatives for emergency support in disaster risk reduction, social and economic issues of international emergency mechanisms  in disaster risk reduction, data challenges and solutions for disaster risk management, international emergency mechanisms in disaster risk reduction in turbulent geopolitical environment of security, institutional response to terrorist attacs and more.

It is important to mention that a cross-boarder cooperation in Europe is needed as well as innovative networking and strenghetning resilience accoring to NATO standards.

During presentations were mentioned a lot of case study analysis for example: earthquaue in Japan in 2011, DRR project experience in Eastern Ukraine, France and Germany, Ukraine (Donbas), Ecuador (early warining systems), climate and environment affect, cyberterrorism system solutions Poland.
