Hazard prevention
The Hazard Prevention Department bundles the areas of preventive fire protection, operation preparation and planning, civil defense and disaster prevention, as well as CBRN hazard prevention.
Preventive fire protection is involved at an early stage in the building permit process and advises the lower building supervisory authority. Open communication is also practiced between the fire protection department and building owners, or building planners and architects. The close interaction with the emergency response team also enables direct coordination and thus significantly supports the success of defensive fire protection.
In addition to the current contact persons, this page contains extensive information material and service tips on all aspects of civil defense and disaster control.-
