The PRDP East 2 project supports the authorities in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine in improving disaster prevention, as well as preparedness and response capacities in case of natural or man-made disasters – thus providing greater overall protection to their populations, environment and infrastructure.

- Strengthening civil protection capacities in the partner countries.
- Strengthening cooperation between the partner countries, and bringing them closer to the EU Civil Protection Mechanism.

- Approximation of the Partner Countries’ legal and institutional frameworks to EU legislation and good practices in the area of civil protection and disaster risk management.
- Strengthening civil protection capacities of Partner Countries through joint trainings and exercises.
- Further development and putting in practical use the Electronic Regional Risk Atlas.
- Raising awareness about disasters.
