Na de grote natuurbrand bij ’t Harde zijn opnieuw branden uitgebroken op militaire oefenterreinen. Kwam dit voor de brandweer onverwacht? Edwin Kok, landelijk coördinator natuurbranden, zegt daarover: “We waarschuwen al jaren voor de gelijktijdigheid van branden.” #pauwendewit
Climate change is making each summer harsher and more dangerous.
We're radically stepping up climate resilience efforts, and we also need tools to respond when disaster strikes.
This is why we will propose a new European firefighting hub.
We know the difference EU cooperation makes.
ℹ️Between 8 and 25 August, wildfires destroyed nearly 600,000 hectares in Portugal and Spain alone – a land area twice the size of Luxembourg.
We thank 🇨🇿🇩🇪🇫🇮🇫🇷🇬🇷🇮🇹🇲🇹🇳🇱🇷🇴🇸🇪🇸🇰 for standing with Portugal and Spain in their fight against devastating fires.
🇪🇸🇳🇱🇪🇺In response to the unprecedented wildfires in Spain in August, the Dutch Civil Protection deployed 2 firefighting helicopters, type Chinook, via the #EUCivilProtection Mechanism.
They have been operating mainly in the Castilla and Leon areas.
🧡Dank jullie wel!

Agradecido por la llamada de Su Majestad El Rey para interesarse por la situación de los incendios en Galicia. Los equipos siguen trabajando duramente para extinguir los fuegos cuanto antes

👃 Respira por la nariz y procura taparla con un trapo mojado
🏔️ Evita huir cuesta arriba
🔥 No intentes cruzar las llamas
👉 ¡Sigue los consejos de @proteccioncivil!

To respond to the requests for assistance from Greece, Bulgaria & Albania, we have deployed several resources from the #rescEU fleet from 🇮🇹,🇭🇷, 🇭🇺,🇸🇰,🇨🇿,🇫🇷 and 🇸🇪 over the weekend.
#EUsolidarity in practice!
As wildfire risk remains high across Europe, a dedicated team of Dutch firefighters is strategically prepositioned in Galicia, Spain, via the #EUCivilProtection Mechanism.
They ensure a swift and efficient response alongside local Spanish teams in case a fire breaks out.
🇳🇱🤝🇪🇸
