Woman in civil defense
In the context of changing geopolitics, energy crises and supply chain instability, the importance of civil resilience as an element of national security is growing. During the ‘Civil Resilience 2026’ block, we will discuss how to combine civil defence with social, psychological and organisational preparedness. We will highlight the key role of women in the logistics of everyday life, the resilience of companies through BCP and HR, and the importance of crisis communication and the media. We will conclude with a debate with experts on building a realistic civil resilience system in Poland.

Show and Workshop Area
The Specialized Rescue Service (SRS) is a non-governmental organization consisting of qualified specialists from various fields who are ready to help injured people and animals 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
SRS is a strong team whose members not only have the right qualifications, but also the courage and determination to make helping others their priority.The name of the organization refers to the fact that its members are specialists from various fields who join forces to provide effective assistance in any situation.
The history of SRS dates back to 2022, when, during a relief effort for Ukraine, the organization Animal Rescue Poland decided to transform itself into the Specialist Rescue Service. The idea of creating a rescue group using tracking dogs had long been present among the members of the organization, and the action in Ukraine became the impetus to implement this idea.
SRS consists of various teams, including Water Rescue, Animal Rescue Poland, Training Center, and Search and Rescue Group. Each team has specialized knowledge and experience that is used to provide the most effective assistance possible.
For SRS, the most important thing is to help every living creature, which is why the organization works with commitment and professionalism to ensure maximum protection for people and animals in every situation. More information about each team can be found in the tab for that team.

How to choose mobile lighting for OLiOC so that it works from the very first hours of a crisis
This is a practical training course for people responsible for operational readiness, organisation of activities and equipment in the field of civil protection. Participants will learn methods for selecting mobile lighting based on real-life scenarios – from evacuation and zone marking, through rescue operations and field work without power supply, to the organisation of medical points, logistics centres and backup office workspaces.
What we will show:
- the effects of a lack of light in emergency situations,
key lighting functions in OLiOC,
- the order of use of equipment (what must work first),
- the most important criteria for selecting lighting: technical, functional and organisational.
The training covers issues related to light parameters, resistance, power supply, work ergonomics, servicing and maintaining the readiness of mobile lighting equipment for emergency situations.
