Sport - DRK: European Football Championship "extremely peaceful event"
The German Red Cross (DRK) draws a positive balance after five games at the Frankfurt Stadium during the Football European Championship. 711 volunteer forces from various Hessian DRK associations, under the command of DRK Frankfurt, provided assistance in approximately 175 cases. In addition, there were around 30 clinic transports from the stadium.
Besides the medical care and supervision of the female and male spectators as well as the players in the stadium, around 50 DRK volunteers were ready for deployment as so-called standby readiness in disaster control in the Frankfurt urban area in case of an emergency.
