VALKYRIES: Harmonization and Pre-Standardization of Technology, Training and Tactical Coordinated Operations for First Responders on EU MCI.
In Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (pp. 1-6).
After the round table held at the I Spanish National Congress of Emergencies that took place on June 9, 2022, the leading digital magazine in defense and security news Infodefensa became interested in the project and published an article on the importance of the project in the field of civil security and civil-military cooperation in the European Union.

The Spanish magazine Seguritecnia, focused on key aspects of Civil Security, published an article about VALKYRIES in the release Nº 494 on March-April.
The article provides an overview of the main opportunities for improvement, in terms of pre-standardization and harmonization actions, which have been detected in the deployment and interoperability of first responders in Multi-casualty incidents (MCI) and that have promoted the creation of the VALKYRIES project.
At the end of January, AES (Spanish Association of Security Companies) published an article in its newsletter about the VALKYRIES project and, more specifically, about the demonstration scenario that will take place on the border between Spain and Portugal.
This demonstrator will simulate a large fire with multiple victims that will require the deployment of multidisciplinary emergency teams and cross-border coordination between both countries.
Catastrophic wildfires in Europe have become a far too common headline and this year has been no exception as the world once again bore witness to parts of the continent burning. While southern Europe is no stranger to the devastation and loss they leave in their wake, countries in central and northern Europe – areas that were previously not prone to wildfires – are now also experiencing them.
Harnessing science and technology, researchers are proving that there is more than one way to fight and respond to fire.
