Against the background of the Russian threat, The State Emergency Service of Ukraine is preparing for large-scale emergencies of various nature that can affect its civilian population.
In accordance with the procedures at reference, the Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centre (EADRCC) has received on 15 February 2022, a request for international assistance by Ukraine.
The EADRCC is NATO’s principal civil emergency response mechanism in the Euro-Atlantic area. It is active all year round, operational on a 24/7 basis, and involves all NATO Allies and partner countries. The Centre functions as a clearing-house system for coordinating both requests for and offers of assistance mainly in case of natural and man-made disasters.
The EADRCC plays a facilitating role in coordinating offers of support and requests for assistance between NATO member and partner countries. In the case of a disaster requiring international assistance, it is up to individual NATO Allies and partners to decide whether to provide assistance, based on information received from the EADRCC.
