Call

Improved international cooperation addressing first responder capability gaps

Detailed Call Description

Proposals under this topic are invited to address one or several of the following capability gaps that were identified by national first responders within IFAFRI:

  • The ability to know the location of responders and their proximity to risks and hazard in real time
  • The ability to detect, monitor, and analyse passive and active threats and hazards at incident scenes in real time
  • The ability to monitor the physiological signs of emergency responders
  • The ability to incorporate information from multiple and non-traditional sources into incident command operations
  • The ability ty to create actionable intelligence based on data and information from multiple sources

Proposed solutions should take into account the different specifications as defined within IFAFRI, most notably the Gap Analysis, Statement of Objectives and Deep Dive Analysis and propose solutions (to the extent possible) that are suitable for different types of responders.

Proposals can be submitted by any eligible organisation and do not necessarily require the cooperation with co-applicants from an IFAFRI member country.  Participation from non-associated third countries (including the non-EU IFAFRI partners) is however encouraged and the participation of at least 2 first responders’ organisations from at least 2 different non-EU countries is strongly encouraged.
