Can you please give some more details about the statistics? It seems the data is based on 124-126 people? What background do they have? What about country distribution, organisation distribution, function distribution of the participants?

Thanks!

Dear Mr Rawer,

Thank you for your message. Indeed the graphs produced and included in our reports included 126 replies. Since then we actually received another 26 replies which we have been processing, but we did not want to keep people waiting any longer! We are working on the distribution of the replies by organisation, which is a very relevant point. Full details will be released by April.

What I can tell for now is that replies came from 16 countries (Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Norway, Pakistan, Republic of Ireland, Spain, The Netherlands, United Kingdom).

Replies predominantly came from Germany and the UK (78% of total replies).

Replies mostly came from technical relief personnel (49%), firefighters (15%), paramedics (14%) and police (5%).

Replies came mostly from tactical (silver) level - 36%, followed by operational (bronze) level - 30% - and strategic (gold) level - 18%. The rest of replies were marked as not applicable.

I hope this answers your questions.

Best regards,

Romuald Beauvais
