Rapid intervention force to chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear emergencies on the Danube river

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG V-A Romania - Bulgaria

Date of latest update: 2023-06-29

Description

Description (EN):

To rapidly and efficiently manage the chemical-biological-nuclear emergencies (CBRN) on the Danube river, the Romanian-Bulgarian emergency authorities are setting up in the cross-border area a joint intervention rapid force, D-EMERSYS, resulting from interconnection of 2 specialized units, the on-the water reaction unit provided to Romanian emergency authorities and the on-the land support unit provided to Bulgarian emergency authorities. Both units will act coordinated under the command of the authority from the country where the intervention is taking place. The core of on-the-water reaction unit are 3 rapid CBRN intervention boats equipped with capabilities for in-situ detection of contaminants and devices for decontamination of floating structures and fire-extinguishing/contaminant cloud dispersal. The land-based unit comprises 5 specialized mobile CBRN platforms provided with capabilities for analyses of CBRN toxic elements from water, soil and air, as well as with devices for decontamination of both intervention personnel and technique. Further specialized analyses of contaminants will be performed by a new “environmental forensic” laboratory set-up by LB. With 5.995.156,46 € funding, the project will also deliver the training for intervention personnel and will prepare the tools required by the legal framework for the operationalization of D-EMERSYS, establishing a strong partnership on Danube river CBRN emergency response, for the benefit of population and environment.

Achievements (EN):

The project is finalized. Activities were carried out and the project results were reached. Main achievements of the project include: One high resolution SE-EBS-EDX microscope was purchased by LB. County/district emergency inspectorates were endowed with specialized CBRN equipment which included 3 rapid CBRN boats purchased by B2 and 4 CBRN containers and 4 mobile platforms purchased by B3. The two national emergency inspectorates, partners within the project, agreed to further jointly intervene in case of CBRN emergency situations on the Danube and signed the Protocol for collaboration. The operational toolbox (practical operation of D-EMERSYS) which includes operational procedures and joint intervention plan for the cross border-area, was elaborated. The Hintbook, which provides essential information and guidance for field coordinators of interventions, based on which decisions can be taken with respect to selection of best means for intervention, was elaborated. Five training courses were organized by the project partners. Several planning conferences and technical meetings were organized between B2 and B3 representatives for preparing the common simulation exercises which took place in September 2018. Information and publicity activities were permanently implemented. LB and B2 elaborated promotional materials, including the project website available at the link www.demersys-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 CBRN emergencies on the Danube river. The project will create a highly specialized cross-border structure and will put in place tools and expertise that will provide for rapid and comprehensive management of CBRN emergencies, on the Danube river. The project will provide emergency authorities with state-of-the art technical means for detection and characterization and containment of contaminants, along with rescue facilities, so the quality of response and recovery on the Danube will be enhanced.
