A total of over 100 weather -related operations were available within a short time. It is noteworthy that the Heiner Festival took place at the same time, which continued to complicate the situation for the emergency services. Despite this challenge, the fire brigade managed to support the technical relief organization (THW) and the care train of the German Red Cross to support citizens and to avert potential damage. https://www.darmstadt.de/presseportal/Pressemitteigungen/einzelansicht/stadtrat-paul-wandrey-wandrey-Dankt- Fuer-Fuer-Gewoehnliche- Bleucht-bei-bei-bei-bei-bei

emergency services do extraordinary

In particular, Wandrey praised the Darmstadt professional fire brigade and the voluntary fire brigades from all parts of the city, which acted with high commitment and a sense of duty. "The cohesion and the civic engagement of the emergency services are exemplary," emphasized the department for fire protection, disaster protection and emergency services. These properties are crucial for the quick and effective reaction during the critical weather.

The recording and analysis of heavy rain events is not accidental. The data is based on state-of-the-art systems such as the DWD radar network, which provides hourly rainfall on a fine grille of 1 km x 1 km for Germany. This information is crucial to warn in good time and take preventive measures. https://www.dwd.de/de/fache/catrare/catrare.html

"We are proud of our emergency services. The city is behind you," according to the clear sign of the head of the city in this precarious situation.
