The two training sessions, attended by a total of 56 experts from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SESU), will take place from 9–11 February and 12–14 February 2026. The training represents a further adaptation of the programme with the same title that POTC previously delivered for Ukrainian civil protection in May 2025 in Poland. Consecutive interpretation into Ukrainian will be provided.
The main objective of the training is to familiarise participants with an integrated, all-hazards approach to managing risks related to natural and other disasters, particularly in light of increasingly complex and evolving emergencies. The training focuses on potential mitigation measures to strengthen prevention and preparedness, while taking local specificities into account.
The programme includes lectures on new types of climate-induced natural disasters and enhancing disaster preparedness (including within the framework of the Sendai Framework), EU crisis coordination mechanisms and the new Union Preparedness Strategy, monitoring, data collection and mapping, early warning systems, and hazard risk assessment methodologies. The third and final day of the training includes a practical, simulation-based exercise.
