EENA, the European Emergency Number Association, is a non-governmental organisation that advocates for increased public safety and security, as well as the increased use and awareness of 112 (emergency telephone number).[1]
Origins
EENA was founded in 1999 by Olivier Paul-Morandini. Paul-Morandini realised that a pan-European platform was essential for increased collaboration between organisations focused on emergency response, following a visit to Canada where he saw successful efforts had been made.[2] EENA now aims to be a platform for organisations, individuals and institutions involved in the public safety community.[3]
Mission and Work
EENA's area of work includes both advocacy for improved European Union Law (such as the European Electronic Communications Code) as well as higher usage and awareness of emergency communication systems[4], including Next Generation 112[5], public warning systems, eCall, Advanced Mobile Location, and 2G and 3G switch off.[6] EENA raises awareness of the 112 number and the ways in which it can be used, including for groups who may be unaware of its use (visitors, tourists, exchange students) in Europe[7].
EENA collaborates with a number of institutions and organisations, including the European Commission, ETSI[8], National Emergency Number Association[9][10] and EU Member States.[11]
Additionally, EENA contributes to European 112 Day, that is held annually on 11 February. It was introduced by the European Union and aims to promote the existence and appropriate use of the Europe-wide emergency number 112.[12] The Mannekin Pis, one of Belgium’s most well-known tourist attractions, wears EENA's costume every year on 112 day[13]
