The Jubilee preparation exercise at Rome’s Ostiense train station ended at around 01.40 last night. The scenario involved an accident resulting in a fire on a train, with injuries of varying severity, who were assisted directly on the platforms: emergency services set up an advanced medical station to assist patients and direct them to hospitals; Those who were uninjured and in shock were taken to hospital. Supported by Civil Protection psychologists. Approximately twenty hospitals participated in the exercise. Nearly a thousand people attended, including law enforcement, healthcare workers and civil protection, in the presence of Rome Governor Lamberto Giannini and various representatives of the forces on the ground. The second phase of the exercise will take place in hospitals, managing casualties (approximately 70) and medical emergencies. “We adhered to the timeline we set for the response,” commented Governor Giannini, “the condition of the injured stabilized and they were transferred to hospitals. In the initial assessment, we talked about how the advanced medical unit was set up, as well as visiting and stabilizing all the injured within an hour, allowing for targeted intervention and service provision in hospitals.” We are pleased that it is possible to make an initial assessment that will allow initial maintenance to be carried out based on the information collected in the field. “It is important that the mechanism works this evening, in these light and weather conditions. It is a test that is currently progressing well. At the end of the exercise we will see what the results will be and what improvements need to be made,” Carlo Catalano said.
