Regional training on the role of the NMHSs in support of activities in the field of insurance
UNISDR and WMO started in May 2012 the joint implementation of the project 'Building resilience to disasters in the Western Balkans and Turkey'. The project is supported by the European Commission DG Enlargement through the Instrument for Pre-Accession (IPA). The beneficiaries are Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Kosovo (under UNSCR 1244) and Turkey. The project will end in October 2014. The overall objective of the Action is to strengthen the resilience of the IPA beneficiaries to disasters.
Regional training on the role of the NMHSs in support of activities in the field of insurance training will provide an introduction to the services insurance companies provide related to extreme hydrological and meteorological events and on the role NMHSs have in provision of information and services for the insurance sector.
