The city of Schwäbisch Gmünd has decided on emergency prevention measures. With the establishment of lighthouses and emergency meeting points, the city administration intends to better prepare the population for critical situations without stirring fear.

importance of the emergency meeting points
In view of the political and economic uncertainties, such as the energy crisis as a result of the Ukraine secretary, Gmünd ensures that the citizens are well informed in the event of power outages or gas deficiency and can find refuge. The city administration has updated existing emergency plans and increases communication with the citizens via the new meeting points.lighthouses and first contact points
The fire brigade houses in the city and the districts act as so -called lighthouses. They are the first goal for citizens in emergencies that rely on support. Fire brigade commander Uwe Schubert has an emergency generator for this in order to be able to provide quick help, for example in the event of a shortage of breathing apparatus.
comprehensive crisis employment work
In order to optimize the emergency plans in the long term, Gmünd's city administration has included experts in critical infrastructures in the planning. With Hans-Walter Borries, the head of the Firmitas Institute, it is ensured that Schwäbisch Gmünd in the region takes a pioneering role in crisis prevention. This was already shown in June when a train derailed on a landslide. Due to the good communication structure, the situation was quickly brought under control.
testing the suitability of the meeting points
The emergency meeting points in the core city - especially in the large sports halls and the Uniparkhalle - not only offer protection, but also food and the opportunity to stay there. The suitability of all selected halls is currently being examined by the city administration and the fire brigade. Citizens can call up the information at any time so that they can react quickly in an emergency.
Enlightenment and prevention
The city administration emphasizes that these measures do not serve to fuel fears, but rather that they should rather contribute to the investigation of the population about the correct behavior in emergency situations. Markus Herrmann, the city spokesman, emphasizes that it is important to be well prepared in order to be able to act properly in an emergency.
Citizens will receive information materials in the coming months in which the locations of the lighthouses and emergency meeting points are recorded. This not only promotes security, but also trust in the city administration. Gmünd takes an important step towards the crisis of the crisis and shows that the security of the citizens comes first.
