The departments involved are Internal Services, Situation and Documentation, Population Information and Media Relations, Security and Order, Civil Protection and Health. All administrative and organizational tasks that would be necessary in the event of a disaster are pooled in the administrative staff. The first step, which has now been completed, involves bundling incoming inquiries and the concerted forwarding of relevant information to the responsible departments in the district office and to external authorities and institutions, as well as informing the public. The predecessor of the administrative staff was a coordination and communication staff that met regularly.
