Improvement of civil protection system in Siauliai and Jelgava cities

Bendras Programos iššūkis, kurio projekto partneriai kartu imasi, yra Latvijos ir Lietuvos vietos valdžios institucijų teikiamų civilinės saugos paslaugų gebėjimų ir kokybės gerinimas. Projektas bus naudingas civilinės saugos sektoriui, kuris bus sustiprintas. Bendras projekto tikslas yra patobulinti civilinės saugos sistemą, užtikrinant operatyvias ir efektyvias viešojo administravimos paslaugas bei vykdyti piliečių saugumo stebėseną. Naujos įrangos įsigijimas ir investicijos į infrastruktūrą padės sukurti efektyvų bendradarbiavimą abipus sienos iškilus nepaprastosioms padėtims, taip padidinant visuomenės saugumą abiejose sienos pusėse. Pagrindiniai projekto metu sukurti produkai bus šie: partnerių organizacijų gebėjimų didinimas, specialios įrangos ir paslaugų įsigijimas, civilinės saugos sistemos su pažymėjimo žemėlapyje funkcija, mobilia aplikacija ir GIS sukūrimas bei paleidimas. Civilinės saugos sistemos materialinės bazės modernizavimas padidins viešųjų paslaugų prieinamumą civilinės saugos srityje. Visi projekto metu sukurti produktai bus laisvai prieinami visuomenei, kadangi kiekvienas Šiaulių ir Jelgavos miestų gyventojas, pasiekus projekto tikslus, taps saugesniu. Projektas siekia paremti veiksmus, užkertančius kelią pasienio nusikalstamumui ir kovojančius su juo bei siekia padidinti civilinį saugumą Programos teritorijoje. Nauji sprendimai kurie bus išvystyti projekto metu: (1) koordinacinio socialinės informacijos ir operatyvaus valdymo centro įkūrimas Šiaulių mieste ir išvystymas Jelgavos mieste; (2) situacijos stebėjimas specialia įranga potencialiai pavojingose Šiaulių ir Jelgavos miestų vietose; (3) sistemos su pažymėjimo žemėlapyje funkcija, kuri bus naudojama pažymėti pastebėtas problemas (viešosios tvarkos pažeidimą, nelegalią prekybą ir t.t.), sukūrimas Šiaulių mieste ir išvystymas Jelgavos mieste.

Kopīgie izaicinājumi, kuriem partneri projekta ietvaros pievērš uzmanību, ir civilās aizsardzības resursu spēju un kvalitātes paaugstināšana, Latvijas un Lietuvas pašvaldību sniegtajos civilās aizsardzības pakalpojumos sabiedrībai. Kopējais projekta mērķis ir uzlabot civilās aizsardzības sistēmu, nodrošinot operatīvu un efektīvu publisko pakalpojumu sniegšanu un to pielietošanu preventīvās civilās aizsardzības jomā (ēku, vides, biznesa un izglītības iestāžu pasargāšana). Jauna ekipējuma iegāde un infrastruktūras attīstība nodrošinās efektīvu pārrobežu sadarbību ārkārtējās situācijās, tādējādi uzlabojot drošības līmeni iedzīvotājiem abās robežas pusēs. Pārrobežu sadarbība, sniedzot civilās aizsardzības pakalpojumus iedzīvotājiem, projekta ietvaros ļaus pilnveidot un attīstīt juridisko un administratīvo sadarbību, kā arī projektā iesaistītajām pusēm pārņemt un pielietot savā praksē partneru pielietotos risinājumus un pieredzi. Pārrobežu projekta pievienotā vērtība būs novērojama vairākos aspektos, piemēram, savlaicīga riska novērtēšanā un novēršanā, pašvaldību sniegto pakalpojumu kvalitātes uzlabošanā u.c. Papildu juridiskajai un administratīvajai sadarbībai, tiks paaugstināta efektivitāte un caurskatāmība, veicot civilās aizsardzības pasākumu nodrošināšanu pašvaldībā, veicot sabiedrības iesaisti lēmumu pieņemšanas procesos. Projekta ietvaros tiks izstrādāti jauni risinājumi: (1) izveidots pilsētas sociālās informācijas un operatīvās vadības koordinācijas centrs Šauļos un tā attīstība Jelgavas pilsētā; (2) situācijas uzraudzība potenciāli sociāli bīstamajās vietās Šauļos un Jelgavā ar speciālu aprīkojumu; (3) radīt (Lietuvas pusē) un attīstīt (Latvijas pusē) funkcionālu karšu sistēmu, kura tiks izmantota, lai mērķētu iezīmētas problēmas: sabiedriskās kārtības pārkāpumi, nelegālu (nozagtu) preču tirdzniecība, u.c.

The common challenge of the Programme area which project partners are jointly tackling in the project is a potential to increase the capacity and quality of civil protection services provided by Latvian and Lithuanian local institutions. The project will be useful in public civil protection sector which can be strengthened. Overall objective of the project is to improve the system of civil protection, ensuring operative and effective public administration services and to implement monitoring of civil people protection (protection of houses, protection of environment, protection of work and school). The purchasing of new equipment and investments in infrastructure should foster creation of effective cross-border co-operation in emergency situations, thus improving safety of civil people in both sides of the border. The main project outputs the project will produce are: increased capacity of partner institutions, special equipment and services purchased, civil protection system with the function of mapping, mobile application and GIS launched and developed. Modernization of material base for civil protection system will raise availability of public services in the field of civil protection. All outputs will be freely available to general public, because every inhabitant of Siauliai and Jelgava city will be safer after completing the goals of the project. Project aims to support actions to prevent and deal with cross border crime and improve civil safety in the Programme area. Cross border cooperation would facilitate improved harmonisation of systems for ensuring public safety as well as the implementation of joint activities for combating crime more effectively. New solutions that will be developed during the project are: (1) city coordination centre of social information and operational management establishment in Siauliai city and development in Jelgava city; (2) monitoring of the situation in potentially socially dangerous Siauliai city and Jelgava city places by special equipment; (3) Creating (in Lithuanian side) and developing (in Latvian side) of system with mapping function, which will be used to target spotted problems: public order violations, trading illegal (smuggled) goods, etc.
