Gospodin Hadžović je istakao da se implementacija projekta „SAFE“ uspješno privodi kraju te da se u narednom periodu očekuje završna isporuka preostale opreme za potrebe civilne zaštite i edukativnih materijala koji će podići nivo svijesti građana o značaju prevencije i pravilnog postupanja u slučajevima prirodnih i drugih nesreća.
Gospodin Vannini je ukazao na aktivni doprinos i pomoć Evropske unije nakon poplava iz 2014. godine u Bosni i Hercegovini, navodeći da je EU investirala više od 3 miliona KM za oporavak na području Sanskog Mosta i Oštre Luke.
Gospodin Hasanbegović je ukazao da je EU među prvima pomogla u obnovi i oporavku općine Sanski Most, koja je pretrpjela štete i gubitke u iznosu oko 11 miliona KM, navodeći da je do danas sanirano preko 80 posto posljedica.
Zamjenik načelinka općine Oštra Luka, g. Mastikosa, izrazio je zadovoljstvo projektom „SAFE“ uz pomoć kojeg je kvalitet civilne zaštite i vatrogasnog društva znatno unaprijeđen.
Nakon uvodnih obraćanja uslijedio je niz zanimljivih predavanja o kriznom menadžmentu i važnosti sistema za rano upozoravanje. Prva sesija seminara započela je predavanjem g. Nedžada Korajlića, dekana Fakulteta kriminalistike, kriminologije i sigurnosnih studija u Sarajevu, o suštini i važnosti kriznog menadžmenta za različite društvene aktere. Potom je uslijedilo predavanje g. Fahrudina Solaka, direktora Federalne uprave civilne zaštite, kojim su se učesnici seminara upoznali sa iskustvom FUCZ u odgovoru na prirodne nesreće, posebno na važnost sistema ranog upozoravanja u slučaju poplava i požara.
Drugom sesijom seminara bilo je predviđeno da se učesnici upoznaju s iskustvima susjednih zemalja u odogovoru na prirodne nesreće. Tako je gospodin Želimir Kešetović, profesor Fakulteta za bezbednost u Beogradu, predstavio iskustva i naučene lekcije nadležnih institucija u Republici Srbiji tokom poplava iz 2014. godine, ističući da je ta nepogoda u dobroj mjeri ukazala na probleme i nespremnost društva i sistema u vanrednim situacijama. Gospodin Robert Mikac, profesor na Fakultetu političkih znanosti u Zagrebu i bivši načelnik Sektora za civilnu zaštitu Državne uprave za zaštitu i spašavanje Republike Hrvatske, ukazao je na normativni okvir te organizaciju i funkcionisanje sistema ranog upozoravanja i upravljanja za vrijeme poplava i požara u toj državi.
Seminar je završen korisnom diskusijom i zaključcima da je prevencija najznačajniji faktor u odgovoru na elementarne nepogode te da je neophodna stalna nadogradnja sistema zaštite i spašavanja na lokalnom nivou, posebno u smislu materijalno-tehničke opremljenosti, ali i edukacija građana o pravilnom postupanju u kriznim situacijama.
Seminar je ujedno iskorišten da se učesnicima predstavi „Procjena ugroženosti općina Sanski Most i Oštra Luka od pojedinih prirodnih i drugih nepogoda“, izrađena u okviru projekta „SAFE“, koja u fokusu razmatranja ima nivo ugroženosti i dostupnih kapaciteta za odgovor općina na poplave, klizišta, zemljotrese, požare i opasnosti od mina i neeksplodiranih ubojnih sredstava (NUS).
