Two days, one message: preparedness is a shared responsibility.

Thank you to my brilliant team at @eu_echo and to all who joined European Civil Protection Forum.

Here’s to the next 25 years of the #EUCivilProtection Mechanism! 🇪🇺

Congratulations to all UCPM Medal recipients 🏅

You embody what the #EUCivilProtection Mechanism is about: solidarity in action.

Day 1 of #CPForum2026 showed that we are stronger when we prepare together.

Looking forward to day 2.

Looking forward to welcoming Europe’s civil protection community to Brussels next week.
