Large exercise in the Spreauenpark: Cottbus trains for an emergency!

Cottbus, Deutschland - On July 4th, a large -scale exercise takes place in the Spreauenpark, which brings more than 400 participants together to simulate a realistic emergency. During this extensive exercise, around 90 people are made up in a realistic way to prepare the emergency services for the challenges of an emergency. The head of the Lausitz control center, Ingolf Zellmann, emphasizes how important such preparation is in order to be able to react quickly and efficiently in an emergency. The alarm is triggered at 4 p.m. and the exercise is expected to run into the evening.

The exercise includes the transport of the "injured" to the Medical University Clinic (MUL - CT) and requires the use of a helicopter and numerous ambulances. The emergency services of the city of Cottbus, the fire brigade, disaster protection units, emergency doctors, clinics, the technical relief organization, the police and the Bundeswehr are involved. Prof. Dr. Eckhard Nagel, CEO of MUL - CT, emphasizes the importance of well -organized medical care in a state of emergency. In this context, Daniela Kerzel, managing director of CMT GmbH, says that she finds the realistic exercise in the Spreeauenpark as extremely positive. For spectators, the park will be closed on July 4th and the parking spaces are partially closed.

The importance of emergency teams

Medical emergency teams (EMT) are crucial when it comes to reacting quickly and effectively in the event of disasters and emergencies. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), countries are dependent on highly qualified EMT, which consist of doctors, paramedics and logistics experts. In Europe, 85 such teams are active that are continuously evaluated and classified. Especially in crises such as the war in Ukraine or earthquake in Turkey, these teams have proven how important their quick and precise operations are to save human life.

The main tasks of the medical emergency teams include the rapid assessment of the patient's health, the implementation of life -saving measures and ensuring safe transport to the hospital. You are trained to be on site within a few minutes after an emergency call and act under high pressure. These teams work closely with other rescue workers to ensure a seamless transfer of patient care. Due to their quick response time, they significantly increase the chances of survival of those affected.

preparation for an emergency

The upcoming exercise in the Spreauenpark is not only an opportunity for the emergency services to try out their skills, but also an important sign for the entire region, how important these preparations are. The teachings that are drawn from such exercises contribute to improving operational readiness and flexibility. A functioning interaction of everyone involved can be crucial if every second counts.

In a time when disasters and emergencies occur more and more often, such exercises make it clear that there is really something. The preparations should be optimal so that all the steps can sit in an emergency and the rescue can take place as soon as possible. Thus, these joint exercises play a major role in the safety of the population.
