MISSION

The mission of ERAC is to share experiences and raise awareness among the general public. Informing the public where they can obtain additional information on each of the topics discussed.

In today's world, we are witnessing an increased level of intolerance, violence and natural disasters, which are the result of various factors. We believe that by raising awareness, it is possible to prevent such events or to respond accordingly. This will surely reduce the number of potential victims. It is necessary to share knowledge about this with the public, so that it will know how to properly prepare and react to such events.
