Job Environment Organisational entity Presentation of the entity: ECHO A.2. identifies, analyses and prepares for potential events, situations or circumstances that could require cross-sectoral crisis coordination and emergency management interventions by the European Commission and in particular the Union Civil Protection Mechanism. This involves the analysis of trends or developments that influence the EU’s vulnerability to risks and impact emergency management at EU level. The unit also coordinates activities across sectors in the Commission with the objective of preparing for and responding to crises. It does so, for example, via the preparation of operational and strategic-level playbooks describing various actions that would need to be carried out at different levels to coordinate and respond to large-scale incidents. The unit furthermore coordinates and develops civil-military cooperation for the DG as a whole and works on operational and strategic coordination between the ERCC, NATO and other relevant military actors.

The unit ensures also information management before and during crises and provides early- warning tools and scientific analysis on natural, technological and man-made disasters or evolving threats, assesses satellite images and provides situational maps to prepare for and facilitate emergency response interventions. It also provides crisis information and analysis, including Integrated Situational Awareness and Analysis (ISAA) reports in the framework of activations of the Integrated Political Crisis Response Arrangements (IPCR) and the Solidarity Clause. It maintains and further develops early-warning systems in close cooperation with the Joint Research Centre (JRC).
