Post-alarm

Under up alerting means the subsequent alerting of other emergency services to a work site on which there are already forces. A follow-up alarm is usually issued by a control center after it has received a request for additional forces from the emergency services on site.

In order to save post-alarms and the time until these forces arrive, it is important to describe what is happening as precisely as possible when making an emergency call . In this way, the control center can commission the necessary units directly.

Typical examples of situations in which forces need to be re-alerted:

• There are more injuries than expected - more emergency services
• There are not enough breathing apparatus wearers - there are more fire brigades
• There is a risk of collapse, or there are buried forces - follow-up alarm from the THW
• A mission goes on for a long time - post-alarming of a SEG-V
• At a scene of action there are violent acts between those affected - the police are re- alerted
• There are many more injuries than expected - a SEG-San was alerted
• There are numerous uninjured people involved at the scene of an accident - a SEG-B alarms
