Hamm: Disaster Protection City under Minister Reul on the road to success!

Hamm, Deutschland - North Rhine-Westphalia is concerned about disaster protection-and rightly so! At the meeting on October 14th in Arnsberg, Interior Minister Herbert Reul emphasized that the region is prepared, but not yet sufficient. Despite the positive feedback on hazard defense in Hamm, where the impending flood disaster was averted, the pressure remains high. The "sandbag filling principle" passed its test, because within a few hours tens of thousands of sandbags were filled and used to stabilize endangered dikes.

But Hamm goes one step further: For a possible power failure, the emergency services have obtained powerful power generators and planned fuel reserves. The city also uses the latest warning funds, including warning apps and 40 inpatient sirens, to quickly inform the citizens. Reul emphasizes the need to raise awareness of youth to the topic of disaster and civil protection, and speaks out for a general duty. A sign of the growing awareness of the population and the interest of actively helping! Further details are available on www.lippewelle.de .
