The European Commission mobilized over EUR 30 million in emergency humanitarian funding.

  • On 29 August, the EU Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM) was activated following a request for support from the Pakistani authorities. Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Greece, Sweden and Slovenia have offered shelter items, medical supplies, non-food items, water pumps, bailey bridge, and medical and water purification teams. An EU Civil Protection Team (EUCPT) and Technical Assistance and Support Team (TAST), one ERCC Liaison Officer and a Swedish expert in association with the UN Environment/OCHA Joint Unit (JEU) were deployed. The EUCPT ended their mission on 23 September.
  • The Copernicus Emergency Management Service was activated twice (EMSR629, EMSR631) to provide 17 satellite maps.
  • DG ECHO, using the JRC GLOFAS GFM (Global Flood Monitoring) tool's data, created a dynamic map showing the extent of floods in the period up to 30 August.
