Estonian Police and Border Guard Board is already wrapping up ChemSAR activities in Tallinn. First, however, they wanted to to share the project results with the national co-operation partners, which have greatly contributed to the ChemSAR activities and many rescue exercises held in Estonia during project implementation. The national partners and interest groups were invited to the ChemSAR LIVEX National Summit held yesterday in Tallinn.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The National Summit was opened and chaired by Danel T\u00fc\u00fcr<\/strong>,\u00a0leader of ChemSAR project’s pilot activities, whose daily work is in the Estonian Police and Border Guard Board Fleet. The Summit\u2019s aim was to gather together all the\u00a0national live exercise (LIVEX) participants to see and hear their ideas, and also to see and hear their point of views of the exercise and summarise that up.<\/p>\n

In addition to the live exercise \u201cRegal Star\u201d, the Summit offered a possibility to hear about conclusions of WP5 pilot activities, results of LIVEX evaluation and Standard Operational Procedures (SOP) in practice. Feedback, lessons learned and experiences from the LIVEX from JRCC Tallinn SMC, Emergency Centre 112, Tallinn Ambulance, Estonian Environmental Inspectorate, North Estonian Medical Centre, and many other participants’ point of views. The aim was also to hear a little what are the future plans, where do we go from now on, and what are the objectives after the ChemSAR project.<\/p>\n

Lessons learned and the way forward<\/h4>\n

The building up maritime incident response capacity will require specific resources and tight cooperation between all regions. The participants agreed that this kind of exercises are needed and what\u2019s most important, they have to be connected tightly with land procedures and operations. Operations don\u2019t end at the sea or when people are taken into the coast or land. \u00a0When people are saved, it\u2019s vital to ensure them a warm environment and clothes, water, food, first medical aid, and also to take them into hospitals if needed. That\u2019s why it\u2019s extremely important that in exercises all the areas are represented to enable joint exercising and working together. Joint exercising improves the knowledge of all procedures, management scheme and communication language. It ensures that everyone knows each other\u2019s systems and work routines and enables good and tight co-operation in incidents. Only then we know that we can handle all the \u201cdifficult things\u201d we are preparing us for. Also, we are ready if anything happens and we know that we will succeed in all the difficult situations that may occur.<\/p>\n

In conclusion of the ChemSAR LIVEX National Summit, we can say that a lot of hard work has been done during the ChemSAR project. So, the first step in that area has been taken.<\/p>\n

Now from that point here we can move only further. We have to take all the experience we got during the ChemSAR project with all the feedback and lessons learned points from exercises,\u00a0such as the SOPs, and put it into everyday work. We will need to continue our work under the ResQU2 project platform, and what\u2019s most important, to tighten even more our national and international co-operation.<\/p>\n

ChemSAR LIVEX national Summit was held on 28th <\/sup>of March 2019 in Tallinn, Estonia.<\/p>\n
