Aman Team Inspects Italian Crisis Management Experience

The team responsible for establishing the National Center for Emergency, Crisis, and Disaster Management (AMAN) visited the Italian Civil Protection Directorate to learn about Italy’s experience in crisis and disaster management, coordination mechanisms, emergency response procedures, and decision-support systems at the national level. In a press statement on Monday, the AMAN team said the visit was part of its program to study international experiences and draw on best practices in civil protection and crisis and disaster management, thereby supporting efforts to develop Kuwait’s national system. During the visit, the team reviewed the center’s operational mechanisms, communication and coordination systems during crises, and procedures for handling various emergency situations, as well as the role of systems and technologies used to enhance response speed and improve crisis management efficiency. The visit also included the Italian Civil Protection’s training center, where the team examined training, qualification, exercises, and simulation programs designed to enhance the readiness of personnel and response teams, and discussed ways to leverage the Italian experience in capacity-building and specialized training. The AMAN team, under the Council of Ministers, is tasked with establishing a comprehensive national system for emergency and disaster management, unifying national efforts, and building an integrated framework for risk management and raising the level of readiness and response to crises.
