The starting signal for the Zeus program: Berliners become heroes in population protection!

Last Saturday, September 28, 2024, the “Zeus” training project was officially started in the town hall of Lichtenberg. Under the direction of district mayor Martin Schaefer, the project is to train certified volunteer support forces in population protection. The goal is to qualify citizens for disaster and population protection so that they can support the Berlin authorities in an emergency.

District Mayor Martin Schaefer emphasizes the relevance of a well -trained population protection, especially against the background of the latest flood events in Germany and Europe. It underlines the importance of a resilient society and the structure of the authorities in order to be able to better manage crises. Through well -founded training, the participants should be able to act effectively, save lives and minimize damage in emergencies.

The "Zeus program" includes training on first aid measures, practical skills at operations, dealing with communication means and the tasks at the district emergency meeting points. Interested parties can find out about the project on the website of the district office at www.berlin.de/zeus-lichtenberg.
