HRT hosts for the first time in Greece the International Congress for Alpine Rescue

Date:
HRT hosts for the first time in Greece the International Congress for Alpine Rescue

More than five hundred delegates from all over the world are expected to participate in the International Congress for Alpine Rescue by the International Comission for Alpine Rescue (ICAR), which will be hosted by the Hellenic Rescue Team in Thessaloniki, in October 2024.

It is the very first time that this specific event will take place in Greece and will be hosted by a voluntary organisation. This not only emphasizes the necessity to support Mountain Rescue in Greece, but also the role of volunteers in supporting mountain search and rescue operations. Apart from the proposals and presentations given during the main sessions of the Congress, the programme also includes a mountain rescue demonstration, which will be conducted on Mt. Olympus with the participation of HRT members as well as other Rescue Team members from abroad.

During the Congress all the latest developments in the field of Mountain Rescue will be presented both on a technical and procedure level as well as materials, innovative technology and Pre - Hospital Care and First Aid. The accident statistics and the analysis of incidents hold a major role in the presentations. The central theme of the October 2024 Convention will be education and training of the Rescuers.

The Congress will be held at the "Grand Hotel Palace" from 15th to 20th October 2020.

It should be noted that the Hellenic Rescue Team is the only organisation in Greece that has been a member of the "International Commission for Alpine Rescue" (ICAR) since 2007.
