Our partners
EMRIC builds on a strong network of partners from the Meuse-Rhine Euregion. These public services and government departments work closely together to enable and continuously improve cross-border assistance.
Public partners
The following public partners within the geographical area of the Meuse-Rhine Euregion—which are responsible for firefighting, ambulance services, disaster response, and crisis management in their own regions—provide the funding of the partnership and support the EMRIC office.
GGD Zuid-Limburg (NL)
Stadt Aachen (DE)
Städteregion Aachen (DE)
Kreis Heinsberg (DE)
In addition, the EGTC Euregio Meuse-Rhine is committed to EMRIC at the administrative level.
More than 200 employees
In addition to these partners, more than 30 services and government agencies also collaborate with EMRIC. This means that more than 200 employees are involved in improving cross-border assistance. In addition, approximately 50,000 emergency responders and administrators are involved with EMRIC and its agreements.
