Zeynep's Actions within the Gathering
Storm "Zeynep" hit parts of Germany, including the Rhein-Kreis Neuss district, causing significant challenges for local fire departments. These brave men and women were at the forefront of emergency response efforts, dealing with the impacts of the storm such as fallen trees, flooding, and damage to infrastructure.
Fire departments in Rhein-Kreis Neuss were kept busy, responding to numerous calls regarding blocked roads and dangerous debris. They worked tirelessly to clear streets, ensuring public safety and allowing emergency access. In addition, they conducted rescue and evacuation operations where flooding endangered residents or where storm damage made buildings unsafe.
The fire departments also managed power outages and gas leaks resulting from storm damage, working closely with utility companies. They coordinated with other emergency services to assess damage and assist vulnerable populations. Their efforts were crucial in minimizing injury and damage in the district during and after storm "Zeynep."
A total of 665 firefighters in regular and honorary service were deployed, along with six industrial firefighters from Alu Norf and Speira, 10 personnel from other aid organizations, and 18 members of the Technical Relief Agency.
