In May, we met in our shared office to discuss current projects. This included focussing on the EU MODEX - EUCPT-Tast project, which is slowly entering the final phase. This means detailed logistical preparations for the pre-exercise meeting and further logistical, administrative and media preparation of PCC for the mission in Tenerife in September. 👌📝

We also analysed and discussed our tasks in the Crossflood project. 👩‍🚒

We still have a lot of work ahead of us before we can have a little rest in the summer. 🫶

After the EU MODEX - EUCPT-Tast Ireland exercise, we had a very labour intensive time. Now we can reflect, where we supported the EU MODEX Lot 4 team. Josef Riener, Harald Maierl-Fellner (CEO) and Michael Kollroser supported the EXCON team by preparing tablets for trainers and evaluators, purchasing equipment and EU-branded clothes, colur-coded tabards, vests, certificates and many more.

Barbara Debre and Daniel Bointner covered mostly the media part of the exercise, by pictures and videos, which have been uploaded to the different social media channels.

The exercise scenario was an advisory mission assessing Ireland's wildfire and forest fire preparedness, host nation support frameworks, and integration of aerial firefighting resources. This mission involved evaluating current policies, operational capabilities, available resources, and inter-agency coordination mechanisms to identify gaps and improvement areas and provide actionable recommendations.

Josef H. Riener, Project Manager of this MODEX stated: “With the strong support from our Irish partners and the good contributions of the consortium members we conducted this advisory mission exercise. This setup is very important because it focuses on training the management level of future members of European Civil Protection Teams”.

It was a challenging week not just for the participants, also for everyone, who worked behind the scenes, but neverthelesss a great learning opportunity for everybody, who was involved! 👏

CROSSFLOOD Stakeholder Meeting in Bucharest successfully conducted from 17-19th of March. 👏
From publiComm Josef H. Riener, our Head of International Projects has participitated.

Stakeholder meetings are to learn to know each other and establish a cooperation. This meeting was outstanding, the good vibes between the participants and the progress we could make. The scenario was developed, more stakeholders identified, the schedule of the IPC (initial planning conference) set and the means of communication decided.

Our focus goes back again to EU MODEX - EUCPT-Tast, 3 more days to go...🧐💪✈️

Almost 4 weeks ago we had our internal meeting. After the meeting we were quite occupied and we were working non stop on the preparations to the upcoming MODEX - EUCPT-Tast exercise. We are looking forward to the exercise, which will happen exactly in one week - 24-29th of March, in Irland! 💪

Before the intensive time we needed the time to meet shortly and update each other on our project developments and task sharing. Sometimes you need to charge your batteries in between and exchange with the colleagues since we are working quite often remotely.

At the original posting I wanted to inlcude about the upcoming Stakeholders Meeting in Bucharest for the project CROSSFLOOD, since there were so many tasks, this entry shifted more and more in the background, but this is fine, because as a project manager you need to prioritize. The meeting is already from today (17-19th of March), and we will report on that in the next days!



Keep updated and follow us for more information!

The new year is already off to a very intense start at our company. 💪
With our partner Störfallmanagement Stolar e.U. we conducted a strategic workshop about new developments in civil protection, bringing together experts from various areas of security, civil protection, technology and politics. 📢
“Asymmetric and hybrid threats - the new challenge for critical infrastructures”
In an increasingly complex and interconnected world, critical infrastructures are facing unprecedented challenges. Cyberattacks, disinformation, economic pressure and physical or digital sabotage - the combination of asymmetric and hybrid threats require new approaches to protecting our essential supply networks, communication and information systems, utilities and public and private facilities. 💡🛡📡💻
The aim was to analyse risks and develop practical solutions that can also be implemented at the national and local levels.
