| A+A 2009 Congress To Include Disaster Control Forum For the first time, the topic of disaster control will be addressed at A+A 2009, International Trade Fair for Safety, Security and Health at Work. The program of the A+A Congress has been extended to include a day-long "Disaster Control Forum" to be held on November 4. The talks and discussions will deal with the general theme "Overcoming Disasters – A Challenge for the Population, the State and the Economy". The A+A trade fair and congress will be held from November 3 - 6, 2009 at the fairgrounds in Düsseldorf, Germany. The "Disaster Control Forum" will be complemented by live presentations in the outside area in front of Hall 3. These practical demonstrations will be performed using the relevant equipment (e.g. a fire simulation container) in collaboration with the German Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW), the German Works Fire Service Association (WFV), the German Red Cross, the professional fire brigade of the City of Düsseldorf, the German Federal Police and Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA/ Safety Division. "Disaster control requires comprehensive, coordinated measures of all parties involved, regardless whether it is in overcoming natural disaster, dealing properly with pandemics or resisting criminal or terrorist threats. The target groups particularly relevant in this area within organizations focused on public safety such as the police, the THW, the fire brigade and rescue services and also those in charge at public agencies all traditionally show great solidarity with A+A, " commented Birgit Horn, Project Director of A+A 2009. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Exhibition News :: home page |
