Ambasada SAD i komanda snaga SAD u Evropi pomažu kapacitete za intervenciju u vanrednim situacijama

U sredu 23. avgusta, ambasador SAD u Srbiji Majkl K. Polt će formalno uručiti donaciju vrednu preko 1,2 miliona dolara koju čine vozila i sredstva za intervenciju u vanrednim situacijama. Ova pomoć se zvanično dodeljuje vladi Srbije koju će predstavljati ministar odbrane Zoran Stanković i potpredsednica vlade Ivana Dulić-Marković.

Donacija je direktan odgovor na probleme koje su izazvale poplave u 2006. godini i finansira je američki narod preko Kancelarije za bilateralne odnose Ministarstva odbrane SAD pri ambasadi Sjedinjenih Država, a sprovedena je od strane Uprave za humanitarnu pomoć pri komandi snaga SAD u Evropi (EUCOM). Donacija uključuje osam vozila za hitnu intervenciju, šest generatora, tri prikolice za vodu, četiri pumpe za vodu, mobilnu kuhinju i drugu opremu u vrednosti od preko 1,2 miliona dolara. Ova vozila i oprema će omogućiti Srbiji da ustanovi nove baze za civilnu odbranu u Beogradu, Nišu, Novom Sadu i Kragujevcu i time poveća sposobnost reagovanja u slučajevima vanrednih situacija i prirodnih katastrofa u budućnosti.
