Dual patronage
The show's patrons are two government ministries: the North Rhine Westphalia State Ministry of the Interior and the NRW State Ministry of Labour, Health & Social Affairs. “The Covid pandemic, the major flood disaster in the summer of 2021, the Ukraine war and other potentially dangerous developments have shown how far-reaching complex crises can become. One of the tasks of the Ministry of Labour, Health & Social Affairs is to enhance and strengthen both acute and preventive health care, and that includes rescue services and civil defence. At the new 112RESCUE fire protection, rescue, disaster control and civil defence show, decision-makers and users will find comprehensive, up-to-date information on rescue services, crisis management, health protection and preventive action plans for civil defence emergencies,” said Bernd Schnäbelin, Head of the Department of Rescue & Civil Defence Health Matters at the North Rhine Westphalia Ministry of Labour, Health & Social Affairs, underlining the importance of the informative aspects of the new show.
