New project: Host Nation Support exercises

With our partner company publicomm GmbH, we again took part in a tenderof the EU General Directorate for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid, our consortium won the contract for two Host Nation Support (HNS) exercises. The contract comprises the design, planning, implementation and evaluation of two EU national support exercises for actors involved in the Union Civil Protection Mechanism. These exercises consist of an online preparation course and a tabletop exercise.

Two TTX are carried out in different countries, one outside the EU and one outside Europe, with different emergency management structures, with national, international and cross-border participation The concept is to introduce HNS as a “Train of Trainers” with prior online-training on UCPM and HNS to practice-oriented experts. Concept and curriculum are developed in cooperation with the consortium advisory board. A newly developed “HNS Toolkit” (paperback, training material, HNS manual with checklists) and the online training course will also be created.
