ARMIHN Project Boosts Port Mass Casualty Response
The ARMIHN project, funded with €634,000 by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), has concluded. This initiative aimed to enhance response capabilities in mass casualty events at ports and on ships, with a focus on cruise ships. The COVID-19 pandemic sparked the project's inception, raising public awareness of infection risks and prompting the development of new epidemic protection concepts.
The ARMIHN project tested its innovative digital approach in various exercises. This involved creating an algorithm for an electronically retrievable overview, simplifying the triage of affected persons. The project also fostered cooperation among different actors in the port, including firefighters, rescue services, and health authorities. The city of Hamburg has begun implementing the project's results in its port areas from 2022 onwards, adapting the concepts for its own use.
The ARMIHN project has successfully improved response capabilities in mass casualty events at ports and on ships.
