The Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC) is the core of the EU Civil Protection Mechanism. It coordinates the delivery of assistance to disaster-stricken countries, including:
relief items
expertise
civil protection teams
specialised equipment
Operating 24/7, the ERCC ensures rapid deployment of emergency support and acts as a coordination hub between all EU Member States, the 10 additional participating states, the affected country, and civil protection and humanitarian aid experts.
The ERCC can help any country inside or outside the EU affected by a major disaster upon request from the national authorities or a United Nations body.
