Paul Gilli
Paul is a fire officer since 2012. He started his career in a French riviera fire and rescue service. There he occupied several roles dealing with local preparedness and response, fire station management and operational response as urban and forest fires group leader.
He joined the international division of the French national fire officers academy (ENSOSP) in 2016, where he's responsible among others of their involvement in European exercices consortia and took therefore part in several EU MODEX supporting different functions in exercices and dealing with the venue management when ENSOSP hosts exercices in France.
"United in diversity"... I think the EU motto reflects perfeclty the philosophy of EU-MODEX as a great exemple of european cooperation and solidarity. They permit to mobilize experts and ressources throughout all Europe and its neighbours, with the same goal of beeing prepared to face disasters.
I really hope that we'll be able to start again soon to conduct physically the exercices and meetings in the same way that before the pandemic.
However the Covid-19 is showing us that every crisis has its particularity. We shall continue to be well prepared and to adapt our strategies to face all type of event, specially the ones with a low probabilty of occurence but a high degree of consequences.
This crisis should be taken as a learning opportunity by using its lessons learned in the next cylces of exercices.
