In­ter­na­tional City Net­work for Cri­sis Man­age­ment

The City of Ro­s­tock has been a mem­ber of the In­ter­na­tional City Net­work for Cri­sis Man­age­ment since 2016. Its par­tic­i­pa­tion is rep­re­sented by Ro­s­tock Fire De­part­ment. The city net­work cur­rently in­cludes 22 cities: Vi­enna, Tallinn, Tel Aviv-Yafo, Moscow, Prague, Ljubl­jana, Za­greb, War­saw, Masov­ian Voivode­ship, Nis, Bu­dapest, Krakow, Düssel­dorf, Berlin, Paris, Riga, Vil­nius, Helsinki, Ham­burg, Bor­deaux, Ro­s­tock and Odessa.
One of the high­lights of the ac­tiv­i­ties in the net­work is the In­ter­na­tional Cri­sis Con­fer­ence "Se­cu­rity in Cities in the 21st Cen­tury", which takes place an­nu­ally at dif­fer­ent lo­ca­tions. The an­nual con­fer­ences fo­cus on top­ics which con­cern se­cu­rity as­pects and at the same time have cross-or­ga­ni­za­tional rel­e­vance. Dur­ing the event the cities pre­sent their ex­pe­ri­ences and con­cerns on a con­crete topic. The pri­or­ity top­ics of the con­fer­ences have in­cluded se­cu­rity at ma­jor events, "black­out sce­nario", pos­si­bil­ity of warn­ing the pop­u­la­tion in cri­sis sit­u­a­tions and mar­itime se­cu­rity.

In 2021 Ro­s­tock hosted the an­nual con­fer­ence. Rep­re­sen­ta­tives from the City of Ro­s­tock and seven other mem­ber cities ex­changed their tac­tics and prob­lem-so­lu­tion meth­ods on the sub­ject of Covid-19 pan­demic. For those mem­bers who were un­able to at­tend the event, the video-greet­ing has been cre­ated. (Link für das Video).
