At times like these, it is important that we stand together with unity of purpose and unity of actions. I am confident that by working closely together, by coordinating precisely together, we reinforce our security environment. We live in a time when our security landscape is marked by persistent conflict, constant change, and enormous complexity as the future holds uncertainty of man-made crises – political, financial, and social, in addition to the increasing natural resource competition, demographic changes, violent extremism. Living in a world in which disaster can strike from a number of fronts we have an obligation to be better prepared to face and overcome challenges. This is not a concrete agenda full of deadlines but includes activities and performances, which in reality determine the effectiveness and profitability of our long-term ambitions. It is recognized that peace, security, development and stability are more interconnected than ever, placing a premium on close interaction amongst all actors involved assuming their respective roles in crisis prevention and management. My organization, the Crisis Management and Disaster Response Centre of Excellence maintains the idea that no one alone is sufficient to prevent or manage crises. Success requires enhanced interaction amongst the whole spectrum of actors at all levels before and during engagement. Based on our activities in the last 2 years the present issue of CMDR COE Proceeding 2014-2015 hereafter focus attention to factors that will largely shape, in my humble opinion, the implications to the complex of actions and interactions in response of disasters and management of crisis.

Every year, a lot of representatives of different NATO and PfP nations take part in the CMDR COE annual seminars. The annual event aims to improve the common understanding of interagency cooperation in the area of CMDR and to contribute to the Comprehensive Approach in this field. The latest CMDR COE annual Interagency Interaction Seminar was carried out in the period 8-9 JUN 2015 at Boyana Residence, Sofia, Bulgaria. This annual event, third in a row, enables SMEs from NATO and Partner nations to share their views and thoughts in perspectives on cooperation and collaboration issues of common interest. The CMDR COE intent is to facilitate the exchange of ideas regarding transformation throughout the transatlantic community by creating a common understanding in the sphere of crisis management and disaster response.

  • Subterranean Warfare: a New-Old Challenge
    Subterranean Warfare: A New-Old Challenge Yiftah S. Shapir and Gal Perel Subterranean warfare is not new in human history. Tunnels, which have been dug in all periods for various purposes, have usually been the weapon of the weak against the strong and used for concealment. The time required to dig tunnels means that they can be an important tool for local residents against an enemy army unfamiliar with the terrain. Tunnels used for concealment purposes (defensive tunnels) can be distinguished from tunnels used as a route for moving from one place to another. The latter include smuggling tunnels used to smuggle goods past borders (as in the Gaza Strip), escape routes from prisons or detention camps, offensive tunnels to move forces behind enemy lines, and booby-trapped tunnels planted with explosives !"#$%#!#&'%()*+,+-+#.%/)%-)*-+*% .#"%0'%1)&).23 Operation Protective Edge sharpened awareness of the strategic threat posed by subterranean warfare.

Some critics argued that an investigative commission was necessary to search for the roots of the failure and punish those to blame for it.

  • Influence of Climate Variability on Water Resources in the Bulgarian South Black Sea Basin
    Regional Hydrological Impacts of Climatic Change—Hydroclimatic Variability (Proceedings of symposium S6 held during the Seventh IAHS Scientific Assembly at Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, 81 April 2005). IAHS Publ. 296, 2005. Influence of climate variability on water resources in the Bulgarian South Black Sea basin BERNARDO LIZAMA RIVAS1 & IVANKA KOLEVA-LIZAMA2 1 Department of Hydrology, National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology, 66 Tsarigradsko Shosse, 1784 Sofia, Bulgaria [email protected] 2 Department of Ecology, University of Forestry, 10 Kliment Ohridski, 1796 Sofia, Bulgaria Abstract The South Black Sea basin in Bulgaria was selected as the study area. The region is of agricultural and forest importance for the country. The irrigation water demand increases in summer when most of the rivers in the region have low flows. The purpose of this research is to assess the variability of hydro-meteorological conditions in the study catchments. Long-term data (1952–2002) from some hydro-meteorological gauging stations, which are located in the study catchments, were used. In order to evaluate the influence of climatic factors on the water resources, the warm and humid conditions were analysed. Application of several statistical tests demonstrated that there are changes in runoff which are not caused by man’s activity. The features of the variations of these hydro-meteorological elements and their inherent trends are determined. The results of this study show that runoff has decreased considerably all over the study region in recent years. The significant tendency to a gradual reduction of runoff in the region is due to considerably decrease of the precipitation and increase of temperature.
