The government adopted a decision on the transfer to the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations (IGSU) within the Ministry of Internal Affairs of assets donated to the Romanian state by UNHCR, in order to establish medical emergency stocks and strengthen the national capacity for intervention in emergency situations.
The donation consists of essential equipment for emergency response, including electrical equipment, generators, blankets, air heaters, thermoses, solar street lights, towels, folding beds, sleeping bags, bed linen, pillows, quilts, foam mattresses, textile halls, family tents and hospital tents.
In the event of an emergency situation, such as natural disasters, earthquakes, fires or severe meteorological phenomena, stocks can be removed by order of the Secretary of State, Head of the Department for Emergency Situations, with the information of the Minister of Internal Affairs, the Minister of Health and the Prime Minister.
The government noted that this measure strengthens the response capacity of the Romanian authorities to emergency situations and strengthens the partnership with international organisations in the field of humanitarian assistance.
