10 YEARS EU MODEX EUROPEAN CIVIL PROTECTION
After more than 100 exercises for European civil protection modules since 2010, it is finally time to celebrate this great success together.
The aim of EU MODEX is to better prepare modules/capacities/civil protection authorities and experts for international deployments under the Union Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM), to ensure a faster, coordinated and efficient response to emergencies.
In addition, EU MODEX should enhance the coordination during UCPM interventions by ensuring improved interoperability and cooperation between intervention teams, national authorities and other stakeholders.
Starting in 2010 with a table-top exercise with 15 participants, EU MODEX has developed strongly. Meanwhile, full-scale exercises with far more than 200 participants are part of the exercise cycle. Over the years, rescue workers and experts from as many as 37 countries have had the opportunity to exercise together.
Not only did size and quality evolve, but new training opportunities were created to include all types of civil protection modules and other capacities. Over time, different set-ups and target group combinations were tested to further improve the training experience, so that today a globally recognised high level is achieved.
