National Crisis Management Center to be set up in Moldova

National Crisis Management Center will be set up in the Republic of Moldova. This means that in the event of crises such as earthquakes, floods, pandemics, or cyberattacks, the population will receive faster and better-organized support from the state. The regulation on the organization and operation of the Center was approved today by the Government.

The Center will function as a central administrative authority under the Government and will be led by a general director appointed at the proposal of the Prime Minister. The new entity will coordinate crisis management activities in the areas of prevention, preparation, response, and recovery after crises.

“With the multiplication of extreme weather phenomena, we need to strengthen reaction and response capacities, but also to constantly monitor what we need to prevent,” declared Prime Minister Dorin Recean.

The organizational and operational model of the Center is aligned with existing practices in other European Union member states, such as Estonia, Germany, Latvia, or France, where similar centers operate under the authority of the Government and have demonstrated efficiency in integrated responses to complex crises.
