On October 8th, the second of a series of three workshops to support national authorities with getting it right first time by defining the policy, regulatory, standards and funding arrangements to become fully compliant with the EU Directive. This second workshop complements the first on the operational and functional requirements for the design of their national PWS (Public Warning System). Again, PSC Europe based their approach on the solid, hands-on experience and lessons learnt from other countries that have done this already. This second workshop was hosted at the Finnish Ministry of the Interior (MoI) in Helsinki. 7 countries sent delegates along with some of the world’s leading suppliers of public warning technologies and platform.

“This well-structured approach to developing the framework matches perfectly our work on delivering an effective Public Warning System. It helped significantly towards accelerating our national project, because everyone involved shared freely what they are doing to ensure success. This unprecedented approach of collaboration means we can reach implementation faster and at a reduced cost. I recommend to anyone involved in implementing Article 110 EECC to take advantage of these workshops.” Margus Rohtla, State Infocommunication Foundation Estonia
