The Rescue Preparedness Medal (or Redningsberedskabets Medalje in Danish) was established in 1994 by Queen Margrethe II.
It honors members of the Danish Emergency Management Agency who have participated in international humanitarian missions beyond Denmark’s borders.
Although the medal was instituted in 1994, it retroactively acknowledges contributions to international operations starting from April 1, 1991. This award recognizes the dedication and bravery of individuals engaged in global humanitarian efforts, highlighting Denmark’s commitment to international aid and emergency response.
