The common challenge for the Ukrainian and Polish sides of the border area, and also the main goal of the project, is to support actions aimed at climate change adaptation and prevention of risks associated with natural disasters in the cross-border area of Poland and Ukraine. The Lead Partner of the project is the Siedlce Municipality (LP), and the project partners are the Main Department of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in the Volyn region (P2), the Municipal Headquarters of the State Fire Service in Siedlce (P3), and the Zbuczyn Commune (P4). The roles have been assigned in this way because the Siedlce Municipality has the most experience in implementing and managing EU projects. LP, P2 and P3 have already cooperated on a project in the framework of Interreg PBU 2014-20. The project’s implementation addresses the rapidly advancing climate change and the resulting hazards related to natural disasters, which necessitate adapting the rescue potential of the project partners to the tasks associated with these changes. The project partners have identified three main issues: 1. Increasing threats resulting from climate change caused by natural disasters. 2. Insufficient rescue and firefighting capacity of the rescue units (equipment and competencies) to support climate change adaptation measures. 3. Inadequate exchange of experiences and cooperation between rescue units in the cross-border area to effectively manage crisis situations related to natural disasters and climate change adaptation. To ensure a comprehensive approach to the identified problems, the partners plan soft and investment actions. The project includes the following tasks: • Investment actions (purchase of rescue and firefighting equipment and alarms) • Organization of joint training for emergency rescue and firefighting services • Organization of a joint promotional campaign • Joint project management The planned tasks within the project will enhance the effectiveness of the cross-border
