While many different actors are involved in crisis management process, one of most effective approach for coping with crisis situation is a collaborative crisis management (CCM). Thus to leverage a flow of information relevant for emergency managers and incident commanders it is more than crucial to have a reliable and up-to-date information gathered from credible sources. A series of crisis management exercises conducted in Poland this year, in framework of FP7 project EDEN could be given as example of practical implementation of CCM.
