Measures in the event of major disasters

Earthquakes can lead to major damage. The first measures that have proven successful in international aid are first-response teams, which are trained according to uniform, internationally valid criteria. The TCRH Mosbach offers numerous scenarios for the practical education and training of such Urban Search & Response Teams (USAR).

One year of ASP cadaver testing teams Baden-Württemberg in the TCRH

Why ASF cadaver trials?

In the event of an outbreak of African swine fever (ASF), the search for wild boars that have died from the disease is an important part of animal disease control. There is a lot of infectious virus material in the carcasses and their surroundings, which can infect other wild boars and spread the disease. The carcasses of dead wild boars must therefore be found and disposed of as quickly as possible. The cadaver tests with specially trained human-dog teams have proven very effective. For this purpose, emergency services such as cadaver search teams, managers and drone teams are trained at the TCRH Mosbach on behalf of the MLR Baden-Württemberg.

The former Neckartal barracks will be further upgraded for education and training of blue light organizations. Southwest police will be carrying out special operations in Mosbach in the future
