New Professional Guidelines in Hungary The national classification system for cave/rope rescuers in Hungary

摘要

In Hungary, the constantly renewed disaster management legislation demanded new professional guidelines for disaster management and voluntary rescue organizations because the regulation of this topic had not yet taken place. Pursuant to the stipulations in Sections 57-65 of Government Decree No. 234/2011 (XI. 10.) (hereinafter: Decree) on the implementation of Act CXXVIII of 2011 on the amendment of the Act on Disaster Management and of other Acts in relation, for the sake of the national classification of voluntary rescue organizations operating in Hungary and their uniform involvement in rescue operations, Instruction No. 13/2013 of NDGDM on the basic requirements of the national classification system lays the foundation for basic definitions of the national classification system and, at the same time, regulates the functioning of the classification system.
