About the project
Emergency management is a common challenge to all partner countries. NACEMAP project will assist NPA communities develop enhanced resilience against future disasters, through self- assessment, and developing plans to deal with emergency incidents.
The project will identify best practices in community emergency preparedness at the local, regional, national, and transnational levels, during both incident response and post-incident recovery phases. NACEMAP will take an inclusive, consultative approach using roundtable workshops with communities, municipalities, first responders, and other key stakeholders. Workshop outputs will include mapping and analysing different levels of preparedness, identifying gaps and needs, and disseminating best practices in community emergency planning among partners and target groups.
NACEMAP will produce and pilot a Toolkit with 3 parts - Preparedness Self-Assessment Audit; Response Preparedness Plan; and Post- Incident Recovery – as an enduring resource.
The project is funded through by the Interreg Northern Periphery and Arctic programme. An EU funding programme supporting cooperation between remote and sparsely populated communities in the northernmost part of Europe on matters of shared interest.
