Federation Nationale de Protection Civile and Ukraine
With the beginning of the full-scale war, facing the humanitarian tragedy unfolding in Ukraine, FNPC is being mobilized across the country.
In cooperation with the Association of Mayors of France (AMF), FNPC organizes the collection of essential supplies, as well as medical and logistics equipment for the Ukrainian people.
The aim of this joint operation is to give a prompt response to the urgent needs of the displaced population by providing them with emergency humanitarian aid. Numerous donation collection points have already been opened across France, in particular in Bordeaux, Rumilly, Clermont-Ferrand and Strasbourg, which are organized by FNPC.
The Partnership also aims to provide logistical support to local governments. Thanks to the FNPC extensive network, city mayors can contact local branches of the organization to pick up the collected equipment.
