Flood preparedness and response in the Carpathian region

In recent years, floods, landslides and mudflows in the area of the Tisza river, Ukraine, have become increasingly serious. NATO is currently developing a pilot project on regional flood preparedness and response in Ukraine, together with the neighbouring countries of the entire Tisza catchment area. Calls for the development of a pilot project in the field of Civil Emergency Planning were made at the meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Commission at the level of Foreign Ministers on 15 December 1999 when the NATO-Ukraine Work Plan for the implementation of the NATO-Ukraine Charter in 2000 was approved.
