Mass disasters with multiple thermal injuries are an actual topic of safety management of patients in an actual safety situation in Eastern Europe. Availability of highly specialized burn centers complies with geographic borders of countries, but from an international perspective it is reasonable usage of nearby burn centers in neighboring countries. The aim of the report is to describe the actual needs of coordinating national programs for mass burn disasters. Actual situation reflects recommendations of WHO and European Union authorities and allows to ratify them to national plans. But it is also needed step-back coordination of individual national plans to set the highest possible safety of management of burned patients in the European Union despite geographical borders of countries.
