On June 4, 2024, the focus in Krems was on disaster control. Together with the municipal authorities of the city of Krems, the Metadynea Industrial Park and numerous emergency services organizations practiced danger prevention and protection of the local residents. On this day, both the municipality's external emergency plan and the industrial park's internal emergency plan were exercised and checked for functionality. The common goal was to use practice scenarios that looked as realistic as possible to test the practical suitability of the emergency plans as well as all communication and process sequences according to the situation. Joint exercises like this make it possible to practice the interfaces between the organizations and at the same time get to know the locations.
The municipality's crisis team, the industrial park's company fire department, numerous fire departments from Krems and the surrounding area, the police, the Red Cross and the Austrian Search and Rescue Dogs took part in the exercise. At the end of the day, all exercise scenarios were worked through and the exercise was successfully completed. The exercise management at the Metadynea Industrial Park was more than satisfied with the result of the exercise and praised the good cooperation and competent approach of everyone involved.
