Abstract
Handling emergencies caused by different environmental and civilization catastrophes, [1] (e.g. extreme weather, flood, severe industrial accidents involving dangerous substances, possible terror activities) is an ever-increasing challenge for damage control rescue entities. Efficient executing of these tasks requires ever increasing preparedness of intervention units, constant technical equipment development, introduction of new technical rescue tactics and complex intervention plans. Executing such a complex rescue plan is an extremely complicated task. At a given situation more units are to be coordinated in several disaster areas (sites). Several special technical rescue tasks have to be pre-planned to increase the efficiency of the interventions. The authors would like to help these planning efforts by an originally developed proprietary force-unit calculation application (software) program, described in this article. The possible applications, technical requirements, detailed usage steps are also described.
