- Abstract
- ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH One can only garantee fast and effective help in daily protection work, if the fire and catastrophy protection services and ambulance services can be called directly and can be forced to act coordinated purposefully. Such requirements can only be fulfilled best by a control center, that is at the same time emergency call, alarm center and operating center for fire-, catastrophy protection and technical emergency and ambulance services. Another requirement is especially homogenous trained staff. Besides operational considerations on building and operation of a integrated control center, organizational, telecommunicational, economic and personel effects are of main significance in contrast to decentralized control centers.
