New Explanatory Video for Emergency Beacons in Wiesbaden Now Available
Starting from Monday, 4th of August, the city of Wiesbaden has made a new explanatory video for the Emergency Beacons publicly accessible on its YouTube channel (https://youtu.be/59yJNe_nqsI). This video aims to provide clear and understandable information about the emergency beacons, especially during crisis times, and is designed to be barrier-free.
The Emergency Beacons are an essential part of Wiesbaden's comprehensive emergency preparedness concept, distributed throughout the city. These beacons are typically installed in public places such as major streets, public squares, parks, and transportation hubs to provide urgent help access. They allow direct communication with emergency responders, offering GPS or fixed-location data to help responders locate the caller precisely.
The Hessian Minister of the Interior, Prof. Dr. Roman Poseck, was the first external guest to be presented with the new explanatory video last week. He inspected a mobile emergency beacon on the Schlossplatz, demonstrating the importance of these beacons in emergency situations.
For an official map or list of all emergency beacon locations in Wiesbaden, consult the local Wiesbaden city administration website or public safety department, the official website of the Hessian State Police or local emergency services, tourist information centers, or local mobile apps for emergency services.
In case of emergency in Wiesbaden, dial 112 for fire or medical emergencies and 110 for police. For further information on disaster preparedness, including a map of all Emergency Beacon locations, visit the geoportal of the state capital at https://www.our website.de/krisenfall.
Citizens can contact the responsible department or office of the State Capital Wiesbaden for any questions regarding the emergency beacons. The Press Office of the State Capital Wiesbaden, located at Schlossplatz 6, 65183 Wiesbaden, is the publisher of this press release.
The new explanatory video for the Emergency Beacons was initiated by Lars Ritscher. The video aims to create reliable and visible structures for the population in crisis times, making it easier for everyone to access and understand the information provided.
The Emergency Beacons, an integral part of Wiesbaden's emergency preparedness, promote science and technology, as they provide direct communication with emergency responders and employ GPS or fixed-location data for precision. To support personal health-and-wellness during emergencies, citizens are advised to familiarize themselves with the locations of these beacons and the number 112 for immediate assistance.
