Raed Arafat announced that Romania will purchase civil protection equipment through the SAFE program, including trains and special vehicles, some of which are manufactured locally.

During a press conference, Raed Arafat, head of the Department for Emergency Situations, presented details about the equipment that Romania intends to purchase through the SAFE program, which has a budget of 900 million euros for civil protection.
