In the face of the multiplicity of road accidents with huge loss of human lives, a new Road Code has been adopted (Law No. 2013-011 of 7 June, 2013) together with some of its implementing texts, particularly Decree No. 2013-078/PR of 27 November, 2013 which makes it mandatory for helmets to be worn by users of twowheeled engines. 50. This regulation is backed by a real political will. After the President of the Republic had declared 2014 as a Road Safety year, a road safety division was established and attached to the Ministry of Security. Currently, a Directorate of Public Roads which must include the aforementioned division, is in the process of being established to ensure the implementation of this new regulation and the strengthening of road safety. 51.

The Emergency Disaster Organisation Plan (ORSEC) and the National Contingency Plan were revised in May 2015 to adapt them to the new risk mapping of Togo.

The fire-fighting corps is the mainstay in the implementation of the two plans alongside other national stakeholders (for environment and social action). It plays a critical role in preventing fire outbreaks and some disasters by educating the people and carrying out on-site inspections and controls (construction of buildings and siting of plants, filling stations and other dangerous activities). 52.

For this reason, a hotline, 118 has been made available to the population. 53. Aware of the importance of civil protection tasks, the government, with the financial support of the World Bank under the Integrated Disaster and Land Management Project (PGICT) has undertaken capacity development of the fire service corps. The building project of four (4) emergency rescue stations has been ongoing since 2015 with one in Lomé-GTA, one at Atakpamé, one in Sokodé and one 25
