IRMA project was presented during the meeting of PSC Forum Europe in Valabre on 2nd of December 2008. It was a very succesful presentation, highly appreciated by the participants. Here are some snapshots of these events.
Recent events in Europe and other parts of the world have again demonstrated the need for the effective and timely exchange of accurate, up to date and intelligible information between all those involved in and responding to accidents and disasters.
This requirement applies both during major emergencies and day to day operations and is vital in cross border co-operation.
The diversity of current technologies and the speed with which enhanced and new technologies are emerging, can impact on the ability to achieve this goal effectively. It is therefore imperative that new systems be carefully evaluated against clearly defined requirement criteria.
Consolidation, at international level, of requirements formulated by each of the stakeholders, is an essential goal of the project in order to lay the ground for possible solutions.
The project PSC Europe focuses on establishing and maintaining a Forum for regular exchange of ideas, information, experiences and best practices, and on seeking agreement among participating stakeholders.

IRMA monthly newsletter targets first the project consortium, maintaining the communication active between partners, updating on recent progress made, on events, etc. It is thus intended as a tool for coordination first but it may eventually evolve towards a vehicle for dissemination outside IRMA project.
