ERP‘s New Initiative
“Project 12” has shown that initiative and willingness are key drivers for success and that people are bursting with ideas and energy for doing and acting without even thinking to stop. “Project 12” surpassed all expectations producing excellent results, which brings ERP back on track with a brand new initiative envisaging contributions of national importance.
The new project aims to build a team of professionals in the different fields who are in favour of passion and proactive approach to improve the wellbeing in Lithuania. We believe that mobilising people with equal values will make a difference: we will raise the standard of Lithuania by promoting entrepreneurship and calling for focus on the key concerns. We will do all it takes to bring enjoyable living in Lithuania into reality.

On 18 February 2011, Klaipėda became home to a new regional subdivision of the Emergency Response Centre with 60 operator workstations, where "ERP" launched a customised information system developed using the special software solution, "Siveillance ELS Web". The system ensures efficient and uninterrupted operation of the ERC includingadministration of emergency calls, management of intervention forces and co-ordination of rescue actions.

In 2011, plans are to launch the information system at 60 operator workstations in the ERC regional subdivision in Vilnius, in the new building for ERC and for the fire-fighting brigade currently under construction in Antakalnis residential district, Vileišio Street. This subdivision of ERC will gradually take over administration of emergency calls from the other half of Lithuania (Vilnius, Utena, Kaunas, Alytus and Marijampolė counties) and operational management of fire and rescue forces and emergency medical forces on the territories of Vilnius and Utena counties.
At present, ERC responds to emergency calls in the area of 38 municipalities (which are home to over 75% of the Lithuanian population) and performs operational management of fire and rescue forces on the territory of 31 municipality. At peak times each official at the ERC responds to 30 emergency calls and generates eight reports to emergency services on the need for assistance per hour on average. Since its start of operation, ERC has already responded to more than 10 million emergency calls.
