On March 16, 2016 the training for operators and users on AEWS- Accident Emergency Warning System was held in Zagreb (HR). The Accident Emergency Warning System (AEWS) of the Danube River Basin is activated whenever there is a risk of transboundary water pollution, or threshold danger levels of certain hazardous substances are exceeded. More than 20 participants from all four countries of the Sava River Basin and institutions responsible for protection and rescue, civil protection and water agencies were present. Training was jointly organized by International Sava River Basin Commission (ISRBC) and International Commission for the Protection of Danube River (ICPDR) which has established and maintains the system.
