The identification of algorithms for the early warning of natural disasters and their integration with those related to weather conditions is the aim of the European Project GOBEYOND, in which the Hellenic Rescue Team is participating.
First responders play a prominent and essential role in the everyday situations of all civil society; and among all services they provide are law enforcement, fire suppression, and emergency medical services (EMS).
More than 70 stakeholders, partners and HRT volunteers participated in the pilot exercise, which simulated an aircraft crush, conducted on Saturday, November 12th on Mount Chortiatis, in Thessaloniki. The pilot was part of the H2020 European Project "Search & Rescue".
Effective training practices are essential for professionals and volunteers that engage in Search and Rescue operations. They can enhance the capabilities of responders by preparing them to face critical situations while maximising their safety during missions.
