TASK FORCE STATUS: Since 2000 - still active

South Eastern Europe is prone to disasters that transcend borders or overwhelm the capacity of a single country to cope. The level of preparedness and prevention in case of natural and man-made disasters varies from country to country and regional co-operation does not exist to the extent necessary.The Stability Pact's Disaster Preparedness and Prevention Initiative (DPPI) aims to pull together ongoing activities and identifies unmet needs in order to improve the efficiency of the national disaster management systems and to endorse a framework for regional cooperation.

DPPI has been a primary example of regional ownership, with full involvement of regional countries cooperating under the SP auspices, supported by interested countries, international organizations and agencies (UNDP, IFRC, NATO, SRSA Sweden). It brings together 12 countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Hungary, FYROM, Moldova, Romania, Slovenia, Turkey, FRYugoslavia).
