The Golem special, which went to the Hodonín and Břeclav regions, is intended for emergency interventions with the majority of those affected, where a longer duration of interventions with the need to classify patients and provide extensive pre-hospital emergency care directly at the scene of the accident is expected. In the event of an acute shortage of intensive care beds, it can also be stopped very quickly in a mobile intensive care unit with twelve beds.
Fénix is also special for dealing with emergencies. It is intended for interventions with previous patients. In the case of evacuations of inhabited buildings, it also serves as a temporary background for uninjured persons who must leave their homes without delay. The car can carry up to twelve lying people or three hospital beds fully equipped with intensive care devices.
Dogs from the city police
At noon, the mayor Zdeněk Hřib (Pirates) also commented on the help of the capital. “The city police are sending two dogs to Moravia. A team of firefighters from Prague was deployed in Moravská Nová Ves. And as support, we sent a truck of bottled water in bags in cooperation with Prague Waterworks and Sewerage. On Monday, we will discuss financial assistance for the city at the Prague City Council, “said Hřib.
Firefighters from the metropolis also joined in the help. “We are sending a medium USAR team to Hodonín. The first team to search for people under the rubble of houses brings slot cameras, echo sounders and other rescue equipment. A total of over 30 specially trained firefighters will gradually come to the scene, “said the representatives of the Prague Fire and Rescue Service.
The second part of the USAR team is just leaving Prague, complementing the reconnaissance team we sent out before half past nine in the evening.

City districts are being added. For example, the councilors of the Prague 2 district approved the provision of a financial donation to four Moravian municipalities in the Hodonín and Břeclav regions, which were most affected by the tornado. The municipalities of Hrušky, Moravská Nová Ves, Mikulčice and Lužice will immediately receive assistance in the amount of 50,000 crowns.
So far, Prague 5 is finding out how best to help, and the town hall has invited the public to donate through verified collections. “Dear neighbors, we are intensively solving the form of help we can get to the villages and people affected by the tornado. We convene an extraordinary council of the district and communicate with other stakeholders who provide assistance,” we confirm the town hall on Facebook.
The four most affected municipalities will receive an extraordinary gift from Prague 6. The total amount of the gift is 200 thousand crowns. Today, we recommend the councilor of Prague 6 about this assistance at their extraordinary meeting.
