Emergency services from THW Bayern are being dispatched to the flood-stricken region in Saarland.
THW Bavaria Deploys Specialised Flood Disaster Units to Saarland
The Technical Relief Organisation (THW) in Bavaria is sending a team of approximately 50 volunteers, specialised in flood disasters, to the disaster area in Saarland. The deployment forces come from six local associations: Alzenau, Lohr, Obernburg, Ochsenfurt, Simbach am Inn, and Marktheidenfeld.
The THW, a federal voluntary deployment organisation with approximately 88,000 volunteers nationwide, will be operating independently in the disaster area, thanks to a power generator that can feed power into switchgear rooms and maintain critical infrastructure in crisis situations.
The Bavarian THW forces are experienced, having prepared for such disasters with realistic exercises. Three specialist groups are being sent to Saarland: Water Damage/Pumps, Electrical Supply, and a squad troop.
The Water Damage/Pumps specialist units have large-capacity pumps with a combined pumping capacity of 25,000 liters per minute. The Electrical Supply specialist group is securing the power supply for the pumps with a network backup system of 175 kVA capacity.
The THW will remain on-site in Saarland until Tuesday. This assistance includes work within the framework of the European Union's Civil Protection Mechanism and on behalf of UN organisations.
The squad troop is coordinating the Bavarian THW units on-site in Saarland. The specialist squad is travelling to the disaster area with up to seven trucks and three truck trailers.
