Bulgarian emergency and fire safety services have conducted a series of public awareness campaigns and large-scale drills to improve disaster preparedness.

In mid-September, activities centered on Fire Safety Week, featuring demonstrations of rescue equipment and practical displays for children and adults in regions such as Lyaskovets and Plovdiv. These initiatives included open house days, quizzes, and lectures designed to teach emergency response protocols.

By mid-October, the focus expanded to include broader disaster risk reduction. In Varna, educational campaigns were held for students regarding fires, floods, storms, and earthquakes. Additionally, a large-scale emergency drill was conducted in Stara Zagora, simulating a warehouse fire and evacuation to test the coordination between police, fire services, medical teams, and voluntary formations.
