Voluntary heroes honored: District of Gießen strengthens disaster protection!

Gießen, Deutschland - In the district of Gießen, disaster protection is raised to a new level! In the middle of moving times when the security of the citizens is at the top, district administrator Schneider emphasized the importance of cooperation in disaster protection. "It is all the more important that the units of disaster protection in the district of Gießen pull together," she said. An urgent appeal that underlines the urgency of the situation!

The district has actively participated in Bundeswehr exercises to ensure the "support of the armed forces". These exercises are not just a training session, but a crucial step in order to be able to react quickly in the NATO alliance. Germany could act as a hub for the laying of soldiers to the eastern border of the NATO area-a role that is of enormous importance in the current geopolitical situation!
