GEM at EU Civil Protection Forum

GEM was asked to be one of the exhibitors at the EU Civil Protection Forum in Brussels this week. The Forum, going by the title 'Towards a More Resilient Society', comes at a time when more and more European citizens see the need for more EU investment in disaster management.
On an individual level Europeans however have a low level of preparedness. Initiatives like GEM could make a difference and support individual preparedness and decision-making when it comes to earthquakes.  

More than 600 visitors from mainly public, but also private institutions, participated in debates and seminars and went around to see the various stands. Many of them didn't know GEM yet, and therefore quite some interesting links were established.
