The Civil Protection Work Programme for 2014 focuses on the call for tender on Modules Exercises including ECHO B1 and the Emergency Response Unit. The programme emphasizes the utilization of different resources among participating states to enable rapid deployment, predefined capabilities, interoperability, and self-sufficiency in emergency response. Key elements such as voluntary basis, deployment within and outside the EU, usage of resources from participating states, adherence to international guidelines, and quick dispatch in case of an assistance request highlight the importance of this initiative. The programme is based on the Decision No. 1313/2013/EU and includes modules for various emergency scenarios like water purification, search and rescue, fire fighting, medical support, evacuation, and shelter provision. The main objectives are to enhance cooperation, coordination, and response efficiency in civil protection assistance interventions.
