Operational Coordination of Emergency and Fire Prevention

The overall aim of the COOPEREM project is the development of a common policy in the fields of emergency prevention and fire management. This is intended to reduce the impacts of that risk, avoiding human and economic losses as well as material and environmental damages at the border area of the Catalan Cross-border Space (ECT), which includes the main transportation and service corridor of that zone. To achieve this ambitious scope, a sound shared work is required between the local stakeholders entitled on each phase of fire protection: alert, prevention and risk management. Thus, led by the DINT of the Government of Catalonia, COOPEREM establishes a partnership between DARP, DDGI, SDIS 66, ONF, CDPO and SIVU des Albères. Together, we will design a cross-border strategy providing a global answer to risk by a shared anticipation strategy, a common management of fire risk, and the development of a fast, secure and efficient cross-border answer scheme against fire-related emergencies. This project is of outmost importance for our territory, taking into account that fire has always been closely linked with the Mediterranean ecosystem, and therefore represents a real and permanent threat, especially in the last years, due to fast, intense wildfires, which are difficult to afford by the firefighting forces.
