MODEX project meeting in Santa Cruz, Tenerife

This week I attended as the Project Manger the first design meeting of the project EU MODEX EUCPT-TAST in Tenerife: The exercise management had a three-day conference in Santa Cruz with the CABILDO DE TENERIFE, which is exactly civil protection. The design of the exercise “VULCANICA” were discussed, the time frame adopted, and stakeholders analysed. The meeting was supported by the island government, the president of the Cabildo, Dª Rosa Elena Dávila Mamely visited the meeting and discussed with the Project Director, Dr Bogdan Pop, who presented the project.

The cooperation with the UCPM (Union Civil Protection Mechanism) was very positively mentioned, and the importance of an exercise for a possible volcano eruption was highlighted. The exercise will be held in September 2025 and all relevant authorities on national, regional and local levels will be involved. Three EUCPTs (European Union Civil Protection Team), consisting of six members, supported by a TAST (Technical Assistance and Support Team) of four will do an advisory/scoping mission.
