In Regional Civil Protection Operations Centres, all local agencies involved will be co-located (business agencies, Fire Brigade, Hellenic Police, EKAB, voluntary agencies and non-governmental organizations of the Unified Civil Protection Volunteer Registry, local government representatives, etc.).
They will have the ability to immediately collect, in the first year, analyze, manage and transfer the information to the Central core of operational management (ESKEDIK)
It will be responsible for the collection, processing and transmission of information in ongoing incidents or in an imminent emergency situation, the coordination of the operational planning of the Regional P.D.E.A.s, the monitoring of their implementation phases, the coordination of information actions and notifying citizens, coordinating operational planning and keeping up-to-date lists of manpower, available means and resources.
The next step is to start the tender procedures for the acquisition of the buildings based on criteria that will be set. It should be clarified that this is not about building buildings but about buying buildings.
The monitoring of the operation of Regional Civil Protection Operations Centres will be done centrally by the Ministry of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection.
