The working meeting, chaired by the project director, Dr Bogdan POP, Deputy Director-General at the DSU, has as its main objective the finalisation and consolidation of the organisational, logistical and operational aspects necessary for the conduct of the “Full Scale Exercise” (FSX), planned in Suceava County.
The exercise aims to test and strengthen the capacity to respond to cross-border flooding by training national emergency response teams and international modules mobilised under the European Civil Protection Mechanism. At the same time, the activities carried out as part of the project aim to improve interoperability, cross-border cooperation and coordination mechanisms between the authorities and response units involved.

🎙️ We spoke with Harald Maierl-Fellner, CEO of publiComm GmbH, to gain behind-the-scenes insight into the EU MODEX exercise in Tenerife.

Q: You were on site in Tenerife at the EU MODEX - EUCPT-Tast exercise. I’m sure it needed precise planning, because it was a logistical challenge. How did you keep up with it?
🗨️ "Absolutely—it was a massive coordination effort. We had to rent 20 vehicles just to ensure staff and participants could move between hotels, meeting points, and training sites. Transporting equipment from TAST added another layer of complexity. We relied on detailed planning, real-time communication, and a flexible mindset to keep everything running smoothly."

Q: In addition to that, publiComm was handling the media and visibility of the exercise. What were the challenges in this area?
🗨️ "Media coverage had to be both accurate and timely. publiComm had to manage press releases, social media updates, and visual documentation without disrupting the exercise. Balancing operational sensitivity with public visibility was tricky, but the team handled it with professionalism and agility."

Q: Were there any unexpected situations that required quick adaptation?
🗨️ "Yes, of course. No matter how thoroughly you plan, there are always unforeseen elements that require quick thinking. For example, one day the lunches hadn’t been ordered, so we had to quickly coordinate with local providers to ensure everyone was fed on time. A bus for the social event hadn’t been arranged, so we had to organize transportation at short notice to keep the schedule intact. It was a great example of how flexibility and teamwork can overcome sudden challenges."

Q: What was the most rewarding part of the exercise for you personally?
🗨️ "Seeing everything come together—teams from different countries working side by side, equipment functioning as planned, and the media capturing the spirit of collaboration. It was again a proud moment to witness the impact of months of planning in action."

Q: What lessons did you take away from this experience for future exercises?
🗨️ "Plan early, communicate constantly, and expect the unexpected. Also, never underestimate the value of a strong media strategy. These elements can make or break the success of a complex operation like MODEX."

Last week’s post-exercise meeting gave us space to reflect, share openly, and celebrate what we achieved together in the project EU MODEX - EUCPT-Tast. It was perfect to have the July issue of the Knowledge Network newsletter in hard copy right in our hands. Flipping through its pages while discussing our experience brought everything full circle.

We were and are still thrilled to support DSU as consortium lead throughout the EU MODEX project—including two dynamic exercises that tested and strengthened our collective response capacity.

Every time we learn, we grow and we build stonger partnerships.🤝

We’re proud to reflect on our participation in the EU MODEX - EUCPT-Tast exercise in Tenerife — one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences we've faced. As a subcontractor from the DSU Department for Emergency Situations, Romania, we were honored to support the consortium with logistics, administration, media coverage, visibility, and dissemination.

Special thanks to Harald Maierl-Fellner (CEO), Michael Kollroser, and Horst Gorup, whose on-site dedication ensured the project ran smoothly. Behind the scenes, Barbara Debre and Joe Riener provided tireless and flawless support from the back-office in Austria — your efforts did not go unnoticed!

Despite the complexity of the exercise, our team’s determination and synergy helped us overcome every obstacle. This exercise proved once again: the power of team effort.
