is how we held the day (article from the blog of the Delegation Alpina Calabrese):
As planned, yesterday (Sunday, May 4) was carried out research exercise dispersed, jointly with the regional services Calabria Basilicata and Puglia. Ben 83 volunteers were used, 3 doctors, 2 nurses and a canine unit to search the surface.
Everything took place in the splendid Piano Ruggie, the Pollino. The way
operations was given by the President on the National Park of Pollino. Pappaterra, which, in healthy volunteers of the Mountain Rescue present, he also promised that, in short, the park will provide economic support to their Mountain Rescue Stations operating within the Park itself.
Immediately, six teams were formed, of which 4 are involved in areas for the lines to comb, a committed path of a mountain path and a team of emergency medicalized.
E 'should be stressed that everything was monitored from the operations room, specially set up (with a PC, printer, radio room, generator), through the revelation of GPS in each team's possession. A complex system made it possible to divide the area of \u200b\u200bresearch in several areas, each area has been beaten by a team that has avoided using the GPS to leave the so-called holes, which once made the search for missing person very rough.
Only problem was the sudden malfunctioning of the new radio installed in the morning on top of the Timpone Shack. But perhaps this has made it even more real simulation, putting a strain on our radio experts and those who had to coordinate the entire operation.
Once you find the missing (injured) the recovery was completed by the team medicalized, in the meantime was in "reserve" to base camp. "
To signal the presence of several agents of the Guardia Forest, several newspaper reporters, and RAI Basilicata President of CAI Castrovillari.
Everything ended at 17:30.
The " angels red mountain
(article by Vincent Alvaro, based on Slow Time, Newspaper Emerson Communication)
Ruggio Plan (PZ) - the 10:40 am Sunday morning, when the first two rescue teams of CNSAS (National Corps Mountain Rescue in the picture by Gianni De Marco) set out to find
of two hikers missing. Soon after this move three other teams to give a hand to the action of reconnaissance environments share, in the heart of the Pollino National Park. The emergency talks of two missing hikers on top of Serra del Prete. This sets off the search at the surface by rescue teams and reconnaissance of Mountain Rescue, who are responsible for patrolling the area of \u200b\u200bemergency in order to intercept the two people who raised the alarm. For each team a piece of mountain view from every inch. From base camp, planted on the floor to roar, a few meters from the Rifugio De Gasperi, the operations room set up to coordinate the operation in a tent, radio follows closely the movements of aid workers, waiting to have news the contact with the missing. On the lawn of the emergency medical team expects the development of operations and control instruments and tools for a possible call for action. All
as in reality, but luckily it's just an exercise to test the operational status of men, all volunteers, who belong to the Alpine Rescue. The "angels" in black suit and red borders throughout the year come to the aid of several dozen "Unfortunate" which condemns the mountain a few small superficial or too naive. In all,
eighty-three (photo by Eugenio Iannelli), coordinated by the two regional managers of Calabria and Basilicata, from rescue stations in the regions of Calabria, Basilicata and Puglia. Together for a tutorial that potrarrà
until late afternoon. the morning, the volunteers are divided into five rescue teams coordinated by a foreman, to which the contacts of the base camp area to assign an operational action, marked on a map.
time control harnesses, carabiners, ropes, backpacks, coordinate the style of intervention and away we go. Before the two teams, then the other three. All to "hunt" for the missing. Climb on mechanical means to reach areas of operation. Then off on foot, climbing along the ridge of the Serra del Prete. In the horizontal row to watch the mountain cm by inch looking for a visual contact with the hikers in distress (CNSAS two volunteers who have provided if necessary). The higher up the scenario of intervention becomes more complicated. The snow is taller than a meter, but the rescue teams did not give up you have to find people in distress.
After more than two hours of the research team identified almost below the summit of the Serra del Prete. The call to the base camp is instantaneous. "Found!" But one of them is wounded in the leg and down the valley there is a need for medical intervention.
medicalized From base camp the team (which consists of 3 physicians and 2 nurses) equipped at all points, it moves fast. With GPS arrive "in the mouth" to the wounded in no time at all. Fits the stretcher (pictured here Vincenzo Malfone) carried on the shoulders in a backpack and ad hoc with the help of ropes harness descend - with accurate speed - a valley where the book ends with a general round of applause. excellent time to satisfy the men who once again on the field, have proven their efficiency and operation. Franzese
Luca, Calabria's regional delegate CNSAS seems satisfied with the work of his men. So proud of them as the President of the Pollino National Park, Domenico Pappaterra, at the beginning of operations is intervened to convey his greetings to the volunteers. At his side is also the President of CAI Castrovillari, Eugenio Iannelli and inspectors of the State Forestry Corps, which in true emergency responders work together side by side with volunteers. In a brief speech
Pappaterra pointed out that the Board also recently approved the new budget has wanted to give a signal close to an area so important. Classifying these volunteers is to give security to those who want to experience the mountains in freedom, but full compliance.
