In a significant update to its emergency response laws, Monaco’s National Council has revised Law No. 1283 to enhance the Principality's preparedness for a broad spectrum of potential disasters. Deliberated on June 7, 2024, the amendment introduces a more robust framework for governmental decision-making and the organization of relief efforts. This modernized legislation supersedes the previous law established in 2004, which primarily addressed natural disasters and accidents, by incorporating a more expansive approach to civil security.
The revision ushers in the ‘GEVIM’ plan, designed to facilitate a flexible and coordinated response to both traditional natural disasters and more contemporary, complex crises. This strategic enhancement reflects Monaco's commitment to adapting its emergency management strategies to the evolving nature of global risks, ensuring a comprehensive preparedness for any eventuality.
Additionally, the updated law now includes provisions for the protection of animals during emergencies, acknowledging their importance within the community and ensuring their safety and welfare in times of crisis. This forward-thinking inclusion underscores Monaco’s dedication to a more inclusive and modernized approach to civil security, safeguarding all members of the community, both human and animal, against a wide array of emergencies.
