Who we are and what we do
Launched in 2012, emergency.lu was initially developed as a satellite-based telecommunications platform to rapidly restore connectivity in the aftermath of disasters.
Over time, it has evolved into Luxembourg’s comprehensive emergency response mechanism, offering a broad range of support services tailored to humanitarian needs worldwide.

It has become a fast-acting crisis response system, maintaining a strategic humanitarian stockpile, conducting aerial medical evacuations, strengthening local capacities, and providing essential infrastructure support across the globe.
