Sirens blaring, ambulances, carabinieri, firefighters and local police yesterday afternoon. Luckily it was a drill. He also wanted to celebrate SOS Novate in this way, for its 40 years of activity. The simulation of a huge emergency, organized between via Beltrami and via Vialba. A secondary road, where there are some abandoned companies. An accident simulation that allowed many citizens of Novara to see in these cases how the rescuers behave, their roles and the collaboration with other law enforcement agencies.
The reconstructed set was that of an accident between an ATM bus and cars for a total of 42 “simulants” to be sent to the reference hospitals. The people on the bus and in the car were “made up” to perfection with wounds and blood. In this way, the intervention of ambulances was simulated, also hosting associations from Milan and Rho, as well as the intervention of the Novato civil protection and law enforcement agencies. In a major emergency it is important that rescue operations are coordinated and managed in the best possible way, identifying people in danger of life and minor injuries, establishing intervention priorities and above all rescue methods. Immobilize people with the right equipment and then transport them on a stretcher, stop bleeding due to a wound and much more.
Last but not least, making the accident site safe, so that the rescuers arriving with the medical car can intervene and work in safety and therefore peace of mind. Those present were therefore able to witness all the various phases that occur during a rescue. “We thank the collaboration of all the emergency vehicles and the bodies involved, especially ATM for the concession of the vehicle”, commented Emanuele Scurati, president of SOS Novate. The party for the 40th anniversary of the SOS then continued in the evening at the San Carlo oratory with a musical performance with a DJ set by Gianluca and Melina from Novara and then Latin music.
