Rising call volumes, increasingly complex incident scenarios, rapid technological change, and limited personnel resources are presenting emergency services worldwide with growing challenges. How response organisations can position themselves for the future will be demonstrated at INTERSCHUTZ on 1-6 June in Hanover, Germany.
As the world’s leading international trade fair for fire and rescue services as well as civil protection, INTERSCHTUZ 2026 will bring together decision-makers, practitioners, manufacturers, and researchers under the guiding theme ‘Safeguarding Tomorrow’.
“The demands placed on emergency medical services are changing noticeably worldwide. International co-operation makes it possible to look beyond national systems,” according to Hendrik Rawe, Global Director of INTERSCHUTZ at Deutsche Messe AG.
He noted that the exchange of experiences and solutions serve to “strengthen the resilience of emergency response structures and helps save lives”. A central issue for all stakeholders in emergency services is managing increasing call volumes with limited resources. Demographic change, regional disparities, and shortages of skilled personnel require new organisational and technological approaches.
“INTERSCHUTZ demonstrates how processes may be accelerated, responders relieved, and systems made more resilient. At the same time, as incident scenarios become more complex: extreme weather events, failures of critical infrastructure, or multiple incidents occurring simultaneously place high demands on leadership, co-ordination, and technology,” he added.
