Improving international cooperation in disaster management: The large-scale exercise FORMATEX23 in Austria.
Improving international cooperation in crisis situations, FORMATEX23 shows how crucial the application of disaster relief mechanisms at the international level is. The potential release of hazardous substances in the Danube – Europe’s second longest river – could impact up to ten European countries in a worst-case scenario.
