Learning environment. 1 The complete content this speech can be found in the attached link 11:30 Presentation 1: Mrs Anna Figueras & Mr Sergeant Rafael Esteban, Institute of Public Security of Catalonia Subject: “Program of Commander training” The training of the fire brigades is living a great transformation. The changing rhythm of the society promoted by the digital tools, the changing technologies of production and the new energetic paradigms is pouring us into new situations and new risks. The schools of firefighters have to fight for offering the best possible training and look for new methods and resources to adapt and to improve the formative offer to this changing reality. In this context the training of the commands is a challenge of adaptation and improvement. But, the simulations by themselves are nothing without an accurate previous design of the pedagogic needs and the professional and personal competences. The ISPC is working and developing these formative products with a team formed by computer engineer firefighters, pedagogues, psychologists and trainers from different specialities that make us think that we are in a good way. The work in progress that we are doing in this area is presented. This presentation and video can be found in the attached link 12:15 Presentation 2: Mr Martin Thomsen, Emergency Services College of Danish Emergency Management Agency Subject: “An overview and analysis of the use of simulation training in the Fire & Rescue services and Civil Defence in Europe” Since more than 20 years Simulation Technologies have been used to educate, train and asses emergency response professionals from Fire & Rescue services to Civil Defense Organization. It led to different initiatives all over Europe using various technologies and aiming many types of target audiences. This paper aims to start collecting the lessons learned of those virtual simulations projects in order to be able to extract best practice to be shared and spread to all the emergency response community. By using statistics extracted from polls sent in Europe and testimonials from representative virtual simulation training centers as well as results from an experiment, we present a concrete overview of the use of simulation training in the emergency and civil defense in Europe. This paper can be found in the attached link You had the honor to be one of the first to read and enjoy the accompanying presentation. The paper that has been published is still very new. For this reason, the presentation will be added to the minutes at a later time. Questions: Question: A budgetary question: 53% of the virtual simulation users are spending between € 5000 - € 50000 pro year on hardware. Is that the budget for every year to remain the simulations? Answer: The budget is determined by the number of licenses purchased annually. As a result, the budget fluctuates per customer. Question: Commanders are trained faster with virtual simulation. Has the effect been measured or can we find a way to measure these effects? Can we measure whether the group trained with virtual simulation performs better than the additional training? Answer: Real life training (tabletop) are combined with virtual reality. We can teach more 2 people in a shorter time. We can adjust the scenario with the push of a button, giving it the opportunity to gain experience. This experience gives commanders the opportunity to decide differently. They are more aware. Thank you for sharing this knowledge. It gives us the opportunity to conduct the discussion in our country about the introduction of a system. Simulations are a good tool to train for unusual situations and incidents. It provides experience, new insights and it is a safer way to train. 13:00 Buffet Lunch 14:00 Presentation 3: Mr. Sergey Pastukhou University of Civil Protection of the Ministry for Emergency Situations of the Republic of Belarus Subject: “Incident command leadership training organization in Belarus” The University of civil protection of Belarus provides multilevel system of qualified specialists’ preparation for the Ministry for Emergency Situations and other Ministries. The main component of our activity it is Command leadership training which is consist of three main ways: I-St and II-nd stage of higher education, retraining of specialists, refresher courses. The university training system is based on the competence approach and has combined system theory with practice. For the practical training of different emergencies The University has a big training ground on the Branch International Rescuers Training Centre which includes 43 training facilities where university prepares specialists from firefighter to incident commander. Some proposals: 1. Сonsider the possibility of developing educational standards for the training of firefighters and incident commander based on: • accumulated experience of training in fire-fighting and rescue establishments of the EFSCA; • introducing the codification (logging) of each educational training program (by analogy with the NFPA standards training system). 2. Consider the possibility of making changes of the EFSCA constitution and adopting an educational standard under the auspices of EFSCA. This presentation can be found in the attached link Questions: The proposal of standardization all countries within Europe is discussed. Since every country is unique and deals with an incident in its own way, not everything can be standardized. The president suggest to discuss this topic in a working group and to look at the opportunities there. 14.15 Presentation 4: Mr Peter Wagner, Berlin Fire and Rescue School Subject: “Incident Leadership – training and reality in the Berlin Fire Brigade” The Berlin Fire Brigade is the oldest and biggest Fire Brigade in Germany. The Berlin Fire Brigade has 100 stations and more than 5000 employees. About 1500 of them are volunteers. All employees of the Fire Brigade are trained at the BFRA. Special focus is the training and training of the executives. In a special department training for Command and Control (Leadership) are offered. Very different methods are used. Traditionally, there are the so-called table-top exercises (model of the city with houses and streets, mostly built of wood and plastics) are used. Then PC systems are used that show concrete photos of buildings. The images are enriched with animations to 3 model realistic application scenarios. For the area of ??major damage training, a simulation system is used that works with prefabricated paper originals.or some time now, work has been done on the increased integration of training software. This is where the XVR software comes in. Each method and tool has certain advantages and disadvantages. In the presentation it is reported. This presentation can be found in the attached link Questions: Question: In what way international development is turned in your education? Answer: In our fire academy, commanders, officers level C are trained. They spend two years in different fire brigades to train incidents, they get better training than we can offer. Because of time and number of staff and technical resources we cannot define the trainings. Peter is in the role to train the next generation. Question: Denmark we learn a lot of our way of teaching with XVR. Because we cannot train everything you need in the field. XVR gives us the opportunity to train and evaluate. It enlarge our awareness. We do not standardize but harmonize. Denmark is facilitating the world and wants to cooperate with national countries. Answer: A smaller-scale system is used. To be able to use the system properly, everything that works must be summarized in one system. Our staff is now brainstorming and read some good articles. Is Denmark willing to give a presentation of their system and to list the advantages and disadvantages? Yes, Denmark will invite you all for a presentation. Question: How do you develop leadership with outgoing training, technical and non-technical? Answer: I have a dream for a perfect system that trains all aspects.

The Estonian Rescue Board is Estonia’s third largest, and the most respect- ed governmental institution. According to a survey conducted by Turu-uu- ringute AS, we have the support of 95% of the Estonian population and, therefore, an increased burden of responsibility. We can say that we have warranted this trust, as our consistent efforts have decreased the number of fires and the fatalities caused by them. In 2016, for the first time, the number of fatalities caused by fires was under 40. Ten years of preventative work has seen the rate of fire fatalities decrease almost fourfold and deaths by drowning decrease nearly twofold. We know that the road ahead is a difficult one, as prevention alone is not enough to solve the reasons for why people perish in fire or water. Moving forward towards our strategic goals, we depend on our ability to cooperate with different partners. Ad- ministrative reforms will create larger and more capable local governments, which we regard as our most important partners in ensuring the safety of our citizens. We are looking to cooperate with new local governments to clarify areas of responsibility in supervising planning and construction, creating safety plans for welfare services, and improving local governments' preparedness for emergencies and coverage of vital services.

Författarna är ensamma ansvariga för rapportens innehåll. Abstract How do EU member states communicate risks to their citizens? In this study, we define risk communication as the information provided by different levels of government to citizens regarding possible future crises. The questions ser- ving as departure points for this study are as follows: How is the administrative system for risk communication set up in the countries studied? How are the different risk communication campaigns (provided that they exist) embedded in the larger administrative context? How is risk communication strategy formula­ ted in each country and what kind of threats are emphasized? In order to tackle these questions, we examine the risk communication strategy of eight countries: Sweden, Finland, Germany, England, France, Estonia, Greece and Cyprus. Our data comprises governmental web sites, publications, campaigns, as well as other modes of communication, such as videos posted on YouTube, with questions centering on institutional actors, methods of delivery, content, and effectiveness. We acknowledge that risk communication aims at supporting vulnerable populations and evening out imbalances, but at the same time we flesh out the power dimension of risk.
