Egyptians, Jordanians and Palestinians officers from risk management structures will attend a simulation exercise on flood and earthquake at the Euro-Mediterranean Centre of Risk Simulation (Centre Euro-Méditerranéen de Simulation de Risques – CESIR) in Valabre, France from 17 to 20 May 2016, in the framework of the EU-funded PPRD SOUTH II (Prevention, Preparedness, and Response to natural and man-made Disasters) programme.

Participants will assess a crisis, share relevant information, manage and process information, organise on-site rescue, coordinate implemented resources, organize the return to normal situation.
