HAZARD is a project that brings together rescue agencies, relevant authorities, logistics operators, and established knowledge partners on key safety and security issues from seven BSR countries. The project aims to contribute to a better use of risk analysis and assessment by responsible actors and will improve the communication and operational capability in emergencies between the actors. Best practices and experiences in the BSR will be shared and evaluated. The project’s duration is planned from 2016-2018 and is led by the University of Turku (Finland).
