Chisinau, 22 March /MOLDPRES/ - The General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations (IGSU) today informed that it was piloting a new system of localizing people at risk and who called the 112 Service to ask for help.   

According to the quoted source, through the localization system, the intervention teams of rescuers and firemen will shorten the response time in case of emergency situations and will provide qualified assistance to people hit by calamities in record time.

The system is run through a mobile phone device and has capacity to present the location of the caller, his/her condition and the obstacles which might create difficulties for intervention. Moreover, in the case of the running of this system, rescuers and firemen can avoid traffic jams, by accessing the electronic map with the free itinerary for speeding up the mission.

Thus, the caller calls the 112 Service, from where the information is sent to IGSU. Here, controllers use the localization system to learn information on the case, the person at risk, as well as the time needed to reach on the spot. For the moment, this localization system is functional in the teams of rescuers and firemen from the Chisinau municipality and is to be tested in the territorial subdivisions too.
