The Heart of Europe’s Emergency Response Team

Two and a half miles away from the mainland, the Heart of Europe has created its own Emergency Response Unit to keep its residents safe. A group of multi-disciplined firefighters work on the islands and are on call 24/7 to protect the guests. To improve safety in buildings that have not yet been constructed, the ERU performs emergency simulations every day in one of the island’s first villas.
