The 2019 edition of REAS, the International Emergency Exhibition, will see for the first time the participation of the Italian Army which will present to all the specialists in the sector, some of its prized assets able to work in support of the Civil Protection in the event of public calamities – such as in areas hit by seismic events, in the case of exceptional snowfall and floods, or in fire prevention campaigns – in addition to its primary mission of defending the homeland and national interests.

The Alpine Army Troops will therefore be present, probably the best proof of how the synergy between the Armed Forces and Civil Protection is able to ensure better compliance with emergency situations. The Engineers of the 32nd Guastatori genius regiment of the Taurinense Alpine Brigade will exhibit vehicles and equipment used several times in Liguria, Piedmont and Abruzzo, while the Meteomont specialists will present their fundamental activity of avalanche risk prevention in the mountains.

Trained and prepared for every type of use, in climatic conditions and in prohibitive territories, the Alpine troops are in possession of all those abilities that make them able to intervene – at the request of the competent authorities – to support the Civil Protection and other Institutions in helping the population, integrating synergistically and effectively in emergency management.

This ability has been implemented in recent years following the numerous interventions in the field, but even more thanks to continuous joint exercises with the Civil Protection at provincial, regional and national level. Alongside them there will be the structures of the National Alpine Association, which will present their different Civil Protection specialties, excellences of the “alpine” commitment in which solidarity and efficiency come together in a combination of experience and organization at the service of the citizen.

What will be exhibited at REAS 2019 by the Alpine Troops and the National Alpine Association will again be exercised in November in a great exercise of Civil Protection called “VARDIREX 2019”.

The VARDIREX (Various Disaster Relief Management Exercise) is a civil protection exercise that will see over 500 men on the field, an expression of the professionalism of the Armed Forces and the National Alpine Association with the support of the Civil Protection Department. The operational areas identified in two Regions (Liguria and Lombardy) will see a contemporary intervention in different emergency situations, with the aim of verifying the procedures and the interoperability between the components involved in rescue operations during public calamities.

S332 or better Super Puma, as the giant multi-purpose helicopter of the French manufacturer Aérospatiale is called.

He is a true all-rounder in civil protection missions. If necessary, he can evacuate more than 25 people or transport rescuers. In forest firefighting missions it brings thousands of liters of water into its external cargo tank.

In addition, loads over 4 tons can be transported. The specialized operator HELI AUSTRIA, which has in use more than thirty helicopters of different types, this year was again operational with this air giant in fire services in southern Italy.

The experience was very positive, as the helicopter proved to be very agile despite its size. In addition to the Super Puma, his little brother H125 Écureuil will also be present at the fair.

This agile means will be used in collaboration with Misericordie d’Italia to hold courses on the correct approach to the helicopter. In addition, every day panoramic flights can be booked on-site at discounted prices.

As a special highlight for the visitors of the first day of the fair (04.10.19), at 3:00 pm both helicopters will fly over the trade fair center several times, before landing in front of the public. Don’t miss this unique experience!

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Forest fire protection: at the REAS national AIB round table” font_container=”tag:h1|font_size:30px|text_align:left|color:__USE_THEME_MAIN_COLOR__” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css_animation=”fadeInUp”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_zigzag color=”custom” align=”left” el_width=”10″ custom_color=”__USE_THEME_MAIN_COLOR__”][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_column_text]

At REAS 2019, the traditional meeting dedicated to forest firefighting, now in its third edition, is confirmed. In the Round Table, scheduled for Saturday, October 5 starting at 2 pm, the representatives of the Institutions, Bodies and Volunteers working in this sector will discuss both a “hot” analysis of the AIB 2019 winter and summer campaign, and on the measures and proposals prepared by the AIB interinstitutional technical committee to improve prevention and active fight against fires.

Presidents of the DPC, CNVVF, inter-institutional AIB, ANCI, Carabinieri forestry representatives and a representative figure, at national level, of the AIB Volunteer will preside over the work of the Round Table.

The works will give more space to the world of AIB volunteering and local operators in the sector. The representatives of the AIB Volunteers coming from the various regions will pose questions and questions to the speakers table, concerning assessments on the AIB campaign of 2019 and on the measures adopted or still to be adopted to generally improve the national AIB system.

The objective of the initiative is to encourage feedback from the world of volunteering and local operators, about the effects of the work done at national and regional level by the institutions and the CNVVF, to make the AIB system more effective and efficient. Important will be the proposals, suggestions and ideas that will be formulated to institutional representatives, on which to continue working.

The moderators of the Round Table will be Dr. Massimo Galardi, AIB official of the Liguria Region and Franco Pasargiklian, director of the monthly magazine “The Italian Civil Protection”.
