Capabilities and interoperability for joint Romanian-Bulgarian cross-border first responder intervention to chemical-biological-radiological- nuclear–high yield explosive

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG V-A Romania - Bulgaria

Date of latest update: 2023-06-29

Description

Description (EN):

The project addresses the need for enhancement of response and recovery capabilities of emergency services, derived from the recent national legislations. It aims at improving specific field activities conducted by specialized Police structures immediately after an event implying chemical-biological-radiological-nuclear-high yield explosives (CBRNe). With 5.999.763,78 EUR funding, the project strategic objective is to set-up in Romania-Bulgaria cross-border area a fully interoperable, rapid reaction system to CBRNe emergencies, able to provide/accept services from both parts and to effectively use them to the benefit of the whole area population. Identical mobile equipment will be provided to CBRNe police intervention units from both border sides, enabling them to collect data to characterize the situation in terms of event type, amplitude and responsibility, while gaining control of situation and securing the area. Rapid detection devices of CBR contaminants will be provided along with means for data transfer to emergency management authorities, enabling an adequate and effective response. Dedicated equipment for analyses of samples collected by operative units will be used by LB to produce the required assessments for evaluation and mitigation of longer term effects. Thus, the project provides means of E.C. Decision 2008/617/JHA implementation for cross-border cooperation between specialintervention units, realizing an integrated regional management of CBRNe emergencies.

Achievements (EN):

The project is finalized. The main project output - CBRNe mobile units for the Romanian and Bulgarian special intervention teams - was procured via a single procurement procedure organized by the LB. The CBRNe equipment was delivered, installed and commissioned at the General Inspectorate of Romanian Police (B2) and the BG Ministry of Interior (B3) and the staff was trained in operation of the equipment in May 2018. A laboratory, composed of Particle Size Analyzer and Supply of XRF Spectrometer was also purchased by the LB. The project website is available at http://www.jerome-robg.eu/.

Expected Results (EN): R3.1 - The quality of the joint risk management in the CBC area

Expected Outputs (EN):

Relying on unification of efforts and coordination of resources, the project is a real, cross-border, joint action of authorities, meant to address a short-come of the emergency system from the cross-border area, with respect to its reaction and recovery capacity in case of CBRNe emergencies. The project will provide the specialized CBRNe intervention units from the cross-border area with state-of-art equipment for detection of hazardous materials, along with means for rapid deployment and efficient containment. By this, the quality of response and recovery in case of CBRNe events, delivered by the emergency system will be enhanced. The project places a strong focus on providing interoperability at all levels between CBRNe response units from both sides of the border, leading to a partnership providing protection of the entire cross-border area.
