To prevent any unforeseen circumstances,
the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) said it has joined
other stakeholders by deploying a rescue helicopter, three Mobile
Intensive Care Unit (MICU) ambulances and three Rapid Intervention
Vehicles to support emergency situations in Kaduna State, following the
closure of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
NEMA disclosed that the helicopter is to
be used for medical patrol while the three MICU ambulances with the
Rapid Intervention Vehicles are stationed along Jere and Katari Towns,
Kaduna-Abuja road and Kaduna International Airport.
This was contained in a statement by the
agency’s Head of Media and Public relations, Sani Datti and made
available to the press weekend in Abuja.
According to the release, “the MICU
ambulances are used to administer first aid treatment and stabilisation
for trauma victims on their way to the hospital as it serves as a mobile
hospital with the capacity to carry one critical and one less critical
victim. The Rapid Intervention Vehicles are used for Search and Rescue,
fight fire rapidly and extrication of victims trapped in accident
vehicles or collapsed structures.”
It stated further that NEMA can be
