Background 1. Introduction to German DRM System Local Example: The Pandemic Plan of the City of Essen Local Legal Basis for DRM in Germany: The Federal The Federal States of Municipalities Germany and Cities Civil Society Organisations German German German Red Fire- Technical National Cross Protection brigades DRK THW Federal Government of Germany AKNZ BBK deNIS European Union UN-OCHA UNDAC MIG International Page 9 Visist-cum-Exposure: Industrial Disaster Risk Management in Germany 20 June – 3 July 2010 Civil protection is an important component within the entire concept of the national security architecture of the Federal Republic of Germany. It is the duty of the state to protect its citizens. Civil protection exists to provide such protection. In the context of emergency preparedness and safeguarding laws, the civil protection law, the different fire and catastrophe prevention laws as well as the emergency laws, the Federal Government and the Federal States have made individual regulations with the aim to combine the Federal Government, the Federal States and the municipalities in a joint aid and precaution system respectively for the protection of the citizens. 2. Role of the German Federal Government in DRM 1.1 Institutional Framework Federal Ministry of Interior (BMI) In Germany the central political measures for the protection of the so-called critical infrastructures are managed and co-ordinated by the Federal Ministry of Interior (BMI). The security offices, such as e.g. the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance, are closely involved in the work of the BMI. Natural hazards, bad accidents and terrorism might seriously damage or even destroy critical infrastructures which are important to society and to every citizen. The floods in the summer of 2002, the heat waves of the previous summers or the power breakdown in Münsterland which lasted for days on end and which had been caused by the sudden onset of winter at the end of 2005 showed quite plainly how quickly even in Germany important goods and services such as electricity, telephone services, drinking water or public transport can no longer be provided or are only available in a limited way. Simultaneously, the public becomes aware how dependent on these infrastructures people have become and how vulnerable modern societies are. When a disruption or a break down occur, not only the national safety but above all the economy, public health, public order and the ability of the federal and administrative bodies to work will be affected. Last but not least such a scenario would jeopardise the life of every citizen. Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) The decision making power in the field of DRM lies in Germany on the level of the Federal States and the Municipalities. The Central Government only provides assistance and capacity building. In 2002, the Federal Government and the Federal States agreed in a political consensus on the “New strategy for the protection of the people in Germany”. The strategy underlines the necessity of a joint responsibility of the Federal Government and the Federal States in situations of extreme danger which could have an impact on the nation. The Federal Government and the Federal States should work together as partners, a request which can be met by realising the following aspects - an improved connection of the existing aid potential of the Federal Government, the Federal States, the municipalities and relief organisations - New co-ordination tools for an improved co-operation in times of crises The foundation of the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) in May 2004 was an important contribution of the Federal Government to a new strategy for the protection of the population in Germany. Together with the Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW), the BBK as a supreme federal office within the department of the Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI) fulfils tasks related to the civil preventive security. The focus of the tasks is on civil protection and disaster assistance. The BBK supports the BMI in the areas mentioned above and also, provided the BMI agrees the supreme federal offices which are responsible for the technical aspects of the tasks in question. The BBK is in particular responsible for the following tasks: Page 10 Visist-cum-Exposure: Industrial Disaster Risk Management in Germany 20 June – 3 July 2010 Emergency Planning, Emergency Prevention and International Relationships The federal security system in Germany is based on four organisational components: The Armed Forces, police, intelligence services and civil protection. In spite of its sovereignty, modern civil protection perceives itself as a joint responsibility between state, society and the economy. Each partner has to fulfil important tasks. It is therefore justified to refer to a joint system of civil protection in Germany. As it is a complex and highly cross-linked system it needs to be continually developed and improved as well as moderated and co-ordinated. All emergency aspects and their responsible organisations – prevention, planning, operations and after-care – are tested and evaluated for their mutual dependencies.

    JAMES "JIM" SEAVEY Sr. SEAVEY JAMES PERRINE SEAVEY, SR. "JIM" An honored and beloved first responder in the greater DC area for 42 years and a key member of state, regional, and national fire and rescue organizations, James Perrine Seavey, Sr., passed away September 4, 2018, after a courageous five-year battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Born in Washington, DC, on April 12, 1960, to parents, Hollis M. Seavey, Sr. and Anne Munger Seavey, Jim grew up in Bethesda's Westmoreland Hills. Spending most of his life in Maryland, he eventually settled his family in Monrovia, where his lifelong sense of community was quickly cherished by his neighbors. If it pertained to firefighting, Jim embraced it. His calling began in 1976 as a 16-year-old Walt Whitman High School volunteer at the Glen Echo Fire Department. There he rose to the rank of Assistant Chief. He moved to the Cabin John Park Volunteer Fire Department in 1990 and took office as Fire/Rescue Chief in 1992, a post he held until retiring on December 31, 2017. Having declared from a young age a goal of becoming a career firefighter for the District of Columbia, he fulfilled his dream on May 27, 1986. As a member of Recruit Class No. 296, Jim graduated as class president and was appointed to No. 1 Truck Company (Chinatown). Soon after, he transferred to No. 16 Engine Company (Franklin Square), where he found his true passion while attaining the ranks of Pumper Driver, Wagon Driver, Sergeant, and Lieutenant, all in the very same firehouse.

  • RX Burning on UXO Terrain
    Development of Technologies and Methods for the Application of Prescribed Fire for the Management of Calluna vulgaris Heathlands contaminated by Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) JOHANN GEORG GOLDAMMER, EGBERT BRUNN, STEFFEN HARTIG, JOACHIM SCHULZ and FRANK MEYER Abstract Active and abandoned military training areas in Germany, some of them in use for more than a century, have been subjected to mechanical disturbances as consequence of movements of military vehicles and tanks, and the direct and indirect impacts of artillery shooting and bombing exercises, often associated with wildfires started by explosive ordnance. These training areas provide habitats and refugia for endangered species and open land ecosystems. Abandoned or reduced disturbances by military training have resulted in plant succession towards forest formation, resulting in losses of habitats for endangered species dependent on open land ecosystems, notably the Calluna vulgaris heathlands. In some areas the desired effects of meanwhile abandoned military activities and wildfires are substituted by targeted grazing, mechanical treatment or prescribed fire. However, within Germany a total area in the magnitude of tentatively 250,000 ha of high conservation value is contaminated with unexploded ordnance (UXO). While grazing alone cannot maintain openness in all cases, mechanical treatment and prescribed burning cannot always be considered as complementary measures due to the threat of UXO explosions. A concept and technologies have been developed in a R&D project in the Heidehof-Golmberg conservation area, an abandoned military training area in Brandenburg State, Germany, to safely apply prescribed fire by using converted military tanks as armored prescribed fire ignition vehicle and fire suppression apparatus. Prescribed burning operations are supported by unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for monitoring progress and decision support.

The first fire engines were human propelled water pumps with no room for Fire Engine. Around the end of the s, the threat of fire within densely populated areas brought about paid firefighters equipped with horses to pull the early apparatus. The modern day fire engine emerged in the s armed with water pumps, a reservoir, and enclosed seats for the crew. As the threats of fire began to change, so did the specialization of the fire engine on scene. In its most basic form, fire engines are equipped with hoses, water, Fire Engine, and personnel that can aggressively fight the fire. When a person hears a fire siren in a developed city area, a Type 1 or 2 is typically responding to a structural fire. Densely populated areas depend on a Type 1 fire Fire Engine to efficiently maneuver to the call and deploy an array of ladders to reach fires in elevated buildings. Type 1 and 2 fire engines are the apparatus primarily designed for structural firefighting. The typical truck holds to gallons of water but must meet a minimum of gallons as per Chapter 18 of Fire Engine NFPA Standard To extinguish a blaze contained within a structure, the fire must be attacked with a constant stream of water to counteract the heat generated from fire.
