When disasters strike, borders don’t matter — and neither should our response. That’s why CaraČ™-Severin County Council, the Inspectorate for Emergency Situations – ISU “Semenic”, the City of Vršac, and the CaraČ™-Severin County Gendarmerie Inspectorate are working together to build a safer, more resilient future through the project “Smart Cross-border Resilience In Emergency Situations”.
🌍 What’s at the heart of the project?
➡️ Digital tools and equipment for faster, smarter emergency response;
➡️ A Smart Cross-border Center for Emergency Situations in Caraș-Severin — a hub for community awareness and crisis coordination;
➡️ ISU “Semenic” will strengthen safety through investments in CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) and firefighting equipment;
➡️ Caraș-Severin Gendarmerie will acquire hybrid off-road vehicles and ATVs for use in protected and hard-to-reach areas;
➡️ In Serbia, the City of Vršac will invest in equipment to respond to storms, floods, and wildfires.
💬 “This project continues our institution’s previous efforts and aims to reduce response time in emergency situations. Beyond the latest equipment that will be provided to the four partners, a dedicated center will be established at the Caraș-Severin County Council, which the County Emergency Committee will be able to use for managing emergencies,” said Cristian Bîtea, Project Manager, Caraș-Severin County Council.
🚒 From cutting-edge gear to youth training and citizen engagement, this project is all about being ready, informed, and united. Together, we’re building a community that is stronger, smarter, and better prepared.
Project co-funded by the European Union.
