Test warnings and emergency vehicles in the city area – no danger to the population
Kelsterbach. On Saturday, August 16, a large-scale disaster management exercise will take place in the Groß-Gerau district. The goal is to test the cooperation of fire departments, aid organizations, disaster management units, and rescue services under realistic conditions and to optimize procedures in the event of a crisis.
One focus of the exercise is in Kelsterbach: Between 11 a.m. and approximately 2 p.m., loudspeaker vehicles will be operating in several streets – including the lower village and areas between Kirschenallee and Frankfurter Straße. The announcements are solely intended to test intelligibility and effectiveness; there is no danger to the public.
Starting at 9:30 a.m. until approximately 2:00 p.m., a major disaster response scenario will be simulated between Kelsterbach and Raunheim on the site of the former Ticona company. Numerous emergency vehicles with special signals will be deployed. Short-term traffic disruptions are possible.
After the exercise, citizens can provide feedback on the perception and comprehensibility of the loudspeaker announcements. The corresponding online form is available www.kreisgg.de/warngruppen
The district of Groß-Gerau and the city of Kelsterbach ask for your understanding for possible restrictions and thank you for your attention.
