At REAS 2024 a conference dedicated to the air component in forest firefighting operations and coordination with ground personnel

Every year, especially in the summer, thousands of hectares of forests go up in flames throughout Italy due to forest fires, causing enormous damage to our forest heritage and also endangering infrastructure, residential areas and people. In the fight against fires, the “aerial component” is indispensable, with planes and helicopters capable of discharging tons of water or retardant liquid on the areas affected by the fire, the effectiveness of which however requires strong coordination with ground personnel. This is the theme of the new conference proposed by REAS 2024, organized by Mediarkè in collaboration with AerSpo – Aerial Specialised Operation Association.

Waste management between emergency and prevention: at REAS 2024 the conference promoted by the magazine “112Emergencies”

“Waste management between emergency and prevention: the role of Civil Protection volunteers”. This is the title of the conference scheduled for Saturday 5 October as part of REAS 2024, promoted by the magazine “112Emergencies” and coordinated by the director Luigi Rigo.

The topic is highly topical. Emergency waste management, in fact, requires a structured approach to avoid environmental damage and reduce disposal costs. When clearing houses, basements and industrial areas, it is essential to sort waste homogeneously and manage hazardous materials, such as paints and oils, with specific skills to prevent environmental contamination, for example by avoiding the release of contaminated water into waterways.

In this context, Civil Protection Volunteers play a fundamental role, but it is essential that they are adequately trained and supported by competent personnel, in compliance with current regulations. Their training must include knowledge on the management of hazardous waste, sorting techniques and safety measures to prevent pollution.

The conference will offer an important opportunity for discussion on this topic, with the participation of important speakers and representatives of the institutions.

REAS 2024: an increasingly complete exhibition offer

The emergency sector is increasingly linked to innovation processes and the use of new technologies. The challenges posed by climate change make monitoring, prevention and relief activities even more complex. For this reason, companies in the sector are experimenting with solutions and products capable of adapting to increasingly uncertain contexts, where flexibility and speed of intervention can prove decisive in securing the territory and saving human lives. The exhibitors at REAS, the leading fair in Italy for the emergency sector, reflect this evolution, offering a highly specialized showcase for those working in the emergency sector. The 2024 edition, scheduled from 4 to 6 October at Centro Fiera Montichiari, will focus on the main macro-areas that have accompanied the growth of the event over the course of over two decades: firefighting, civil protection and first aid. Over the years, complementary exhibition sections have been added to these product lines which, from edition to edition, have strengthened the fair, making it even more complete. This is the case of aids for people with disabilities and, lastly, of the segment linked to safety at work.

“The focus of REAS will, as usual, be on firefighting, civil protection and first aid,” explains Ezio Zorzi, director of the Montichiari Exhibition Centre. “At the same time, a high-profile event must be able to grasp the signals coming from the market. By delving into technologies at the service of people with disabilities and devices for safety at work, REAS completes its exhibition offer, giving concrete answers to the needs of operators.”

The October edition, in fact, will be an opportunity to evaluate special setups for ambulances and medical vehicles, created based on the needs of those who provide assistance to people with disabilities. The interlocutors are the operators of voluntary organizations, as well as the bodies responsible for social policies, but also families and individuals who need to evaluate specific solutions. The visit to the fair guarantees direct contact with the best production and commercial companies, with the added value of requesting customizations and tailor-made interventions.

REAS will also give space to the topic of workplace safety, offering a range of devices and services designed for companies operating in emergency contexts. Many innovations intended for the emergency sector, in fact, also find application in the field of workplace safety and this is why, in certain processes, the production processes are carried out in a synergistic manner.

“Every year REAS attracts over 29,000 operators and volunteers, attentive to all the news that can improve the standards of intervention”, concludes Zorzi. “The visit to the fair is a business opportunity for companies and, at the same time, an opportunity for training and personal growth for those who work in the sector.”

“All the activities and initiatives dedicated to the rescue and civil protection sector are very important, especially to deal with the many emergencies that unfortunately occur more and more often in our country“, declared Attilio Fontana, president of the Lombardy Region, on the occasion of the press conference today at Palazzo Pirelli in Milan. “An event like REAS is therefore welcome, which allows us to present all the innovative products in this sector at an international level and also to improve the training of volunteers. The REAS exhibition is therefore to be supported, both for the needs in the emergency sector of Lombardy , but also throughout Italy“.

“We are pleased to record these clearly growing numbers”, underlined Gianantonio Rosa, president of Centro Fiera Montichiari. “Emergency prevention and management activities are essential to the safety of our communities. REAS 2023 confirms itself as the reference fair for companies that develop technologies and services with the aim of improving intervention standards“.

At “REAS 2023” all the latest technological innovations in this sector will be exhibited, such as new products and equipment for first aid operators, special vehicles for emergency and firefighting, electronic systems and drones for interventions in the event of natural disasters and also aids for people with disabilities. At the same time, over the three days of the exhibition there will be an extensive program of conferences, seminars and workshops, which will offer visitors an important opportunity for training and professional development. Among the numerous events, the conference on “Mutual aid between municipalities in emergency” is organized by the National Association of Italian Municipalities (ANCI), the conference entitled “People at the centre: the socio-health aspects in emergencies” promoted by Croce Rossa Italiana, the conference on “The helicopter rescue resource in the Lombardy Emergency Emergency System” promoted by the Regional Emergency Emergency Agency (AREU) of the Lombardy Region and the AIB round table on the latest “Forest firefighting campaign in Italy”. New this year will be the “FireFit Championships Europe”, a European competition reserved for firefighters and volunteers in the firefighting sector.

Other “REAS 2023” conferences will concern the use of helicopters for search and rescue, the use of drones in fire-fighting missions, the presentation of the map of the 1,500 Italian airports and airfields available for emergency flights, rescue interventions in mountain, portable field lighting systems in critical scenarios, seismic risk in industrial plants and the health and psychological approach in case of emergencies or terrorist attacks. The new master’s degree on “Crisis & Disaster Management” from the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart of Milan will also be presented. An exercise is also planned with the simulation of a rescue for a road accident organized by the AREU of the Lombardy Region. Finally, the awards for the “REAS Photo Contest” on the theme “Emergency management: the value of teamwork”, the “Giuseppe Zamberletti Trophy” on fire prevention and civil protection and the “Driver of the Year Trophy” for drivers of emergency vehicles.

“REAS” is organized by Centro Fiera Montichiari in partnership with Hannover Fairs International GmbH, organizer of “Interschutz”, the world’s leading specialized fair which takes place every four years in Hannover (Germany). Entry is free and open to all, subject to online registration on the event website. .
