Der Betreuungsplatz

After major incidents or disasters, a large number of people need to be cared for. A so-called care centre for up to 500 people is suitable for this purpose. In eight chapters, the authors inform emergency services about typical deployment scenarios for this concept. Possible victims, situation development as well as functions, structuring and management of a care centre are presented. The volume provides the basics, shows solutions for common problems and gives concrete suggestions for personnel and material implementation. Numerous diagrams and sketches help with operational planning and the localisation of possible sources of error. The characteristics of suitable properties are considered in detail and the topics of evacuation and logistical aspects as well as accommodation management are covered in depth.
