Rescue Board to spend up to 1.3 million euros on crisis preparedness campaigns

The Estonian Rescue Board plans to conduct public information campaigns worth up to 1.3 million euros over the next two years. The campaigns aim to increase residents' crisis preparedness and promote water and fire safety.

The Estonian Rescue Board has announced plans to conduct public information campaigns worth up to 1.3 million euros over the next two years. The campaigns will focus on raising residents' crisis preparedness and promoting sustainable behaviour in both water and fire safety.

Crisis preparedness has become an increasingly important issue in Estonia as the security situation in the region has become more tense. The agency aims to reach the widest possible target audience through its campaigns and shape people's habits so they are better prepared for emergencies.

In the area of water and fire safety, the Rescue Board has been engaged in prevention work for years, but the scale of the campaigns now being planned is significantly larger compared to previous efforts. The investment demonstrates that the state considers raising public awareness for coping in crisis situations to be of paramount importance.
