The interconnection with the National Single System for Emergency Calls 112 (SNUAU) will streamline the activity of the MMAP Dispatch, by incorporating all the specifications resulting from the information activity of central and local public authorities, at the level of all structures with the role of information and alerting, with maximum operativeness in the management of emergency situations generated by the types of risk specific to the ministry: dangerous meteorological phenomena and situations regarding the state of the environment (accidental pollution, radioactivity and air quality).

Run in partnership with STS, starting from December 2019, with an eligible value of 14.4 million RON (over 3 million euros), the project aimed at improving the capacity of MMAP to manage emergency situations generated by dangerous meteorological phenomena and types of risk related to them, where the ministry ensures the support function, as well as the situations regarding the state of the environment.
