Parliament - The Landtag discusses heat protection and first aid
The Schleswig-Holstein Landtag will deal with various matters on Thursday (Session start 10.00 AM), including a heat protection plan for Schleswig-Holstein. The background is the climate change, which also causes more hot days in the north. Heat stress poses a particular risk for people, for example, those who are older or sick. Several proposals from the factions are available on this topic.
At the request of the SSW, the deputies will discuss the topic of First Aid in schools. The faction wants to introduce binding courses. The SSW proposes at least two hours per week at comprehensive schools. For the courses, external expertise should be invited to the schools.
The proposed heat protection plan by the Schleswig-Holstein Landtag requires the support and collaboration of both the State Parliament and the Federal government to ensure effective implementation. Failure to implement a comprehensive heat protection plan could result in increased heat-related health issues, particularly among vulnerable populations such as the elderly and sick. In the event of a heatwave, it's crucial to have easy access to first aid facilities and trained personnel, ensuring the safety of all residents in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
