The peer review team was composed of four peers: f Dirk Kamm, Former Head of Disaster Management, German Red Cross and Former Acting Head of International Affairs, Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance, Germany; f Owen Jackson, Assistant Director for International Resilience and Head of Science and Engineering, UK Cabinet Office (Civil Contingencies Secretariat), United Kingdom; f Salem Yousfi, Head of the Regional Directorate of Civil Protection of Zaghouan (Colonel), Tunisian National Office of Civil Protection, Tunisia; f Samir Agić, Assistant Minister of Security and Head of Sector for Protection and Rescue, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Biljana Zuber supported and took part in the mission on behalf of the European Commission’s Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO). A consortium led by Ecorys Nederland B.V. assisted the Commission in carrying out the peer review. Gerald Walther from Fraunhofer INT was project manager for the Republic of North Macedonia and provided technical and administrative support to the peers throughout the review process. The team was further supported by Hugo van Manen, who travelled to the Republic of North Macedonia to participate in the mission on behalf of Ecorys Nederland B.V. The peer review would not have been possible without the significant contributions of all consulted stakeholders in the Republic of North Macedonia, some of which went so far as to make themselves available to be interviewed on the Day of the Macedonian Revolution on 23 October 2018 and provided the review team with invaluable inputs throughout their stay in the country. The Protection and Rescue Directorate (PRD) volunteered to undergo the peer review on behalf of the Republic of North Macedonia and provided on-site support throughout the mission. Particular thanks are due for the full commitment of the Directorate’s staff, and for the full-time logistical support provided by Valentina Atanasovska on the Directorate’s behalf. The peer review was financed by the European Union.

  • Energy Characteristics of Some Epicentral Areas in the Vardar Zone

They inflict huge damage and cause a large number of human casualties. The territory of the Republic of Macedonia is, seismically, very active part of the Mediterranean area where a large number of earthquakes have occurred. When studying these phenomena, the determination of the energy released during earthquakes is of great importance. This paper deals with the seismic energy of the Vardar zone through the empirical formula for the dependence of the magnitude of the earthquake M and the activated geotectonic surface. Seismicity in Vardar zone is particularly pronounced in the areas of crossing of the reactivated old faults from the Vardar direction with neotectonic faults that predominantly stretch in the transverse direction. Vardar zone is defined as the most labile tectonic unit on the Balkan Peninsula with very expressed seismicity. This paper presents the energetic characteristics of the epicentral areas separated in the Vardar zone: Kumanovo, Skopje, Veles–Sveti Nikole, Štip–Radoviš, Kavadarci and Valandovo.

Silva Balcanica 21(1): 77–82. https://doi.org/10.3897/silvabalcanica.21.e54605 Abstract This study presents results for the dynamic of the populations of the pine processionary moth (Thau- metopoea pityocampa) during the period 2007-2017 and the impact of reducing factors in the Repub- lic of North Macedonia. The population density was determined by the number of larval nests both per tree and per hectare that varied during the research period. The number of individuals went up between 2007 and 2010, while during the following years it rapidly decreased. Since 2011, an overall prograding trend has been recorded in the several subsequent years. This could be explained by the huge number of individuals from the previous years that were in a diapause.

  • (EUR-OPA) Besafenet 2021 Fact Sheet
    European and Mediterranean Major Hazards Agreement (EUR-OPA) BeSafeNet 2021 fact sheet The European and Mediterranean Major Hazards Agreement (EUR-OPA) is a platform for co-operation between European and Southern Mediterranean countries focusing on major natural and technological disasters. The main objectives of EUR-OPA are to reinforce and promote co-operation between member states in a multi-disciplinary context to ensure better prevention, protection against risks and better preparation in the event of major natural or technological disasters. EUR-OPA currently has 24 member states and it supports in particular projects on education and disaster risk reduction aimed at promoting a culture of prevention, for example through emergency response drills in school establishments together with annual national campaigns. It also provides preventive information and education on how to stem the effects of natural disasters as well as developing a methodology on basic knowledge for schoolteachers on safety activities in emergencies etc. BeSafeNet project The BeSafeNet project was initiated under the umbrella of EUR-OPA to achieve three main goals: 1. Promote a culture of safety among youth: • Raise awareness on the implications of their actions and their perception of emergencies. • Replace fear with a culture of preparedness. 2. Disseminate knowledge to multilingual societies: • Create a common knowledge database of best experience. • Disseminate information in several languages for the benefit of the wider society. 3. Become an interactive tool: • Open the BeSafeNet website to other users and organisations for their benefit and comment. • Enrich its content by contributions based on real-life experiences and information provided by experts. The target is the general public, especially - school teachers and students.
