Crisis intervention team in action
Twelve employees of the Red Cross crisis intervention team from the districts of Liezen and Leoben and two employees of the crisis intervention team of the state of Styria took action under the leadership of the Red Cross. About 20 people who directly witnessed the accident are being cared for by the crisis intervention team at a campsite near the accident site.
The Crisis Intervention Team also provides psychological support to anyone who was close to the scene of the accident and needs post-event support. Crisis intervention provides acute psychological care after stressful events.
