International symposium “Planning, construction and operation of training facilities for disaster prevention and civil protection”

Education, training, further education and further training of emergency services place high demands on the planning, approval and operation of exercise structures and the implementation of training concepts.

The Rescue and Help Training Center TCRH Mosbach is organizing a symposium on the planning, construction and operation of disaster and civil protection facilities from November 28th to December 1st.


Education and training facilities and the associated pedagogy require expertise

Planning, construction and operation of training areas for disaster control require experience and in-depth knowledge of structural features in terms of complex statics, safety, materials as well as a broad knowledge of a wide range of training requirements and multiple conceivable operational situations.

The event serves as a platform for exchange between experts from the construction industry, disaster protection organizations and universities.

A supplementary information program is open to anyone interested.

The event is divided into a 3-day expert forum and a 2,5-day public information program.
