Regionaler Führungsstab Leimental
The Leimental RFS (regional management staff) is deployed in extraordinary circumstances. The RFS carries out operational management in the event of catastrophes, emergencies and severe shortages, and coordinates the efforts of civil protection organisations, the police, fire departments, the medical service, the technical services of the municipalities and other partners.
If the cantonal crisis unit – from Basel-Landschaft or Solothurn, depending on the municipalities concerned – is on site with a disaster relief team, the RFS carries out its instructions. The RFS ensures the long-term deployment of various forces in the event of an incident.
