About

The Croatian and Serbian cross-border area is a region prone to catastrophic floods. Climate change is an additional factor present in the region that in some cases causes additional damage to nature and communities. Partners of the Together We Stand project have recognized these threats and aim to create a monitoring and early warning system that will shorten the response time for disasters and consequently ensure a safer environment. In particular, Together We Stand will address the preparation phase leading to potential disasters, as well as actions concerning the end of a threat, and finally the environmental rehabilitation phase, i.e. restoration of an affected area. Partners will focus on coordinating the work of relevant organizations from both sides of the border involved in disaster management and on information channels that will alert the population on time. The output of the project includes a standard operating procedure for the case of major floods and disasters involving dangerous chemicals or gasses.
