EU CARPATHEX exercise on CBRN threats held in the Podkarpackie Region, Poland

EU CARPATHEX is a full scale exercise, which aims at improving the response of European Civil Protection Mechanisms to chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) threats. For that purpose, major emergency situations were simulated in the province Podkarpackie of Poland. In support of this exercise, maps were produced for the scenarios dealing with forest fire and flooding. ZKI provides maps for the EU CARPATHEX exercise taking place in Poland in the framework of GMES Emergency Response project SAFER with funding from the European Community's Seventh Framework Programme.
