Capacities of the Rescue Services in the Arctic: Advancement of Knowledge and Cooperation

What is an ArcResc-project? 

The aim of the project is to promote international cooperation in the field of rescue services in the Arctic region and to share knowledge and develop performance of rescue operations. The project will bring together rescue services from Arctic Council member states and other stakeholders relevant to the project themes.

The main themes are:

  • Arctic environment and disaster scenarios in the Arctic
  • Rescue Services capacities in the Arctic  
  • Forest fires & wildfires
  • Human rescue
  • Indigenous people
  • Climate change related issues
  • International and cross-border cooperation

A two-year project will run until the end of 2023.
The project is financed by Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland

As a result of the project an Arctic Fire and Rescue Network of Knowledge was established.
