12 14.10.2015 Seite 12 Page 12www.thw.de Key elements to keep in mind In Germany: Civil protection = state (Länder-) responsibility THW = only federal organisation in this field, but not as first responder THW = volunteer-based civil protection work THW = nationwide deployed, same modular system everywhere

13 14.10.2015 Seite 13 Page 13www.thw.de In Germany: Decentralized training Each organization e.g. fire fighters, Order of the Maltese, St. John‘s Ambulance has own training system and curricula At THW: 90% of training on local level, standardized training 10% of specialized training at the 2 THW – schools, e.g. international training (EU-OPM etc.) Consequences for civil protection training

34 14.10.2015 Seite 34 Page 3414.10.2015 The technical and informational infrastructure without key persons to plan, implement, use and to guide is ineffective -> technical and managerial Skills Training Key persons and institutions without a clear mandate and support from the society and politicians are isolated -> Dialogue, institutional cooperation and participation Awareness, knowledge and skills not passed to more people and the next generations are not sustainable -> Network of (Training) Institutions Capacity Development in DRM: Needs and Dimensions
