PANDEMIC FIRST RESPONSE
Protection from Pathogen - Reduction of Risk
OWR supports both military and civilian institutions such as
the fire & rescue service (FRS), hospitals and police
in establishing effective protection against biological
threats. OWR has created First Response Packages to protect and
disinfect people from infectious pathogen like SARS, flu and
Biological Warfare Agents.
“Bird or swine flu”, SARS or Marburg (MHF) are serious viral diseases. Transmitted by airborne infection or direct contact with casualties, the illness can spread to a dozen countries in a few weeks worldwide. A fast and forceful response is recommended to get the pandemic under control as fast as possible.

Several countries are using thermo imaging to check passengers
at the airport. An increased body temperature can indicate a
viral infection, but how to proceed if the thermo image becomes
red? Potentially infected passengers can be isolated
immediately in under-pressurized self-inflatable tents for
further examination. The tents are cost-effective, fast to
install and easy to operate. A disinfection shower is
integrated.
An important task is also to minimize the contamination in hospitals, reducing the time patients are interacting will reduce the possibility of spreading the virus as well.
The following actions can be recommended depending on the pathogen...
