What is EU MODEX?
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.
