Emergency points
Emergency centres are points of contact for the public in crisis situations; they are set up in the event of widespread failures of critical infrastructure, such as a prolonged power cut.
A state of emergency is declared by the town of Rodgau and published, amongst other places, on these emergency pages.
Role of emergency points
- Making an emergency call
If landline and mobile networks fail (e.g. due to a power cut), members of the public can make emergency calls at these stations. The stations usually have direct satellite or microwave links to the central operations centres. - Situation updates:
The public can find reliable information there on the current crisis situation, as well as guidance on how to behave. - First aid
In the event of medical emergencies or technical problems on site, first aid can be provided. - Emergency power supply
The helpdesks are powered by emergency power.
