Security Essen presents disaster control requirements

What to do if a disaster suddenly strikes? Whether it is flooding, a major fire or a power cut – every second counts in an emergency. Essen was one of the first cities in Germany to prepare for such scenarios with a disaster protection plan. Trade visitors to Security Essen will find out what these plans and measures look like on 20 September 2024, when the organisers will present their concept live at the security fair. “With this, we provide a unique insight into the strategies and technologies that have been developed in Essen to ensure the best possible security for our citizens,” says Christian Kromberg, Councillor for Law, Public Safety and Order of the City of Essen. The City of Essen’s emergency response plan is a comprehensive concept designed to significantly improve the preparation for and management of crisis situations. In close cooperation, the city administration, emergency services and other partners have analysed various risks and defined specific measures in order to be able to respond effectively to different scenarios in the event of an emergency. These include, for example, severe weather events, terrorist attacks, heat waves or power failures. At Security Essen, those responsible will explain, among other things, what requirements exist here, how they are coordinated and what processes are involved in preparation, procurement and modernisation. Exclusive added value for visitors of Security Essen In Germany, such a detailed plan, which integrates both preventive and reactive measures for a wide range of areas and players, is hardly widespread to date. The presentation at Security Essen therefore offers real added value for trade visitors. Experts from the security industry and representatives of authorities and organisations can find out first-hand about the latest developments in disaster protection and gain exclusive insights. The organisers from the City of Essen will be on standby to explain the individual measures and strategies and answer questions. Julia Jacob, Project Manager of Security Essen: ”The presentation of the disaster protection requirements plan of the City of Essen at Security Essen 2024 underlines the importance of security technologies and strategies for the protection of our society. We are delighted to offer our trade visitors the opportunity to exchange ideas directly with experts and learn about the latest approaches in disaster prevention.” The presentation of the disaster protection requirements plan will take place on Friday, 20 September, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the security experts forum in exhibition hall 6 and will be interpreted into English. Admission is free of charge for trade fair visitors. Information on Security Essen, the supporting programme and tickets at: www.security-essen.de. Read more in our latest issue here.
