Safety and emergency preparedness in Europe

Safety and emergency preparedness are about protecting people and ensuring their well-being in crisis situations. To function as intended, the right preparedness equipment must be available – enabling the safe handling of people arriving at shelters, the treatment and stabilisation of injuries using medical equipment, and ensuring safe conditions over time where warmth, rest and basic comfort are essential.

In addition, it is important to have solutions that support continued preparedness and operations over time, such as lighting, communication and personal protective equipment.

Acute solutions for mass casualty incidents

When many people require assistance at the same time, high demands are placed on structure, prioritisation and rapid response. Effective handling requires solutions for triage, first aid and managing multiple patients simultaneously.
