Notable Achievements in Disaster Response Capability in the Lithuanian Red Cross
As the 3-year OIL SPILL Project is turning to the last phase, the Lithuanian Red Cross proudly states that this Project enhanced not only its understanding of and preparedness to oil spill disasters but also its overall disaster preparedness and national visibility as a potential partner in the disaster response. The participation in OIL SPILL connected the Lithuanian Red Cross with national institutions, such as the Fire and Rescue Department in Klaipėda, as well as the international partners in the Baltic Region.
Experiences and Lessons Learned from the Fanø Conference & Exercise in 2021
One of the biggest activities the Danish Civil Protection League organized during the OIL SPILL Project was the Fanø conference and oil spill exercise in October 2021. Particular focus was on spontaneous volunteers and volunteers from the oil spill emergency services. The idea was to prepare both the authorities and voluntary organizations in Denmark and around the Baltic Sea to discuss and share knowledge.

Postponement, Prolongation, and Surveys – Updates from the Danish Civil Protection League
This month we should have held an oil spill conference and exercise at the island Fanoe in Denmark. Due to the corona situation, it has been postponed to the autumn (23rd to 25th September), so we continue our preparations. At the event, we will gather Danish rescue authorities and other interested stakeholders. Hopefully, we can also welcome our partners in the OIL SPILL project as travel restrictions are removed in the Baltic Sea countries.
