Princess Marie, Current Events Part 2: June 2016 -

[Muhler]

Today our Marie visited a state school in Roskilde, in connection with her involvement in the Civil Defense.

All over DK some 500 schools have a theme week about fire-prevention and how to put out fire and what to do, in case of fire.
This campaign is aimed at 4th and 5th graders.
And this is where the Civil Defense comes in.
They have previously launched a campaign among elderly for setting up smoke alarms in private homes and urge them not to smoke in bed.

Each year a number of especially elderly die in bed because the bed-linen caught fire. - I believe that number is dropping.

Research has shown that children who become aware of fire safety are also aware when they are adults.

Thanks Eya & Iceflower

A funny video.

This was a class of 1st graders, who along with their teachers drilled in how to remember calling the emergency services (112).

but our Marie also asked questions. One was how to move around if there is fire in your home. - A forest of fingers went up and a pupil explained that you crawled along the floor, because smoke goes up.

Marie's Danish was as usual simple but perfect and very easy to understand and with hardly any accent.

A lovely event today. I like the events of Marie with the civil defense. a good role model

great video! marie is a true natural at this. i love how she held that little girl in her arms (she probably couldn't see from the back ) and also how she wore the uniform of the brigade she was visiting - nice touch.

Thanks, Polyesco.

I see Marie brought an adjutant with her on the occasion, which is only proper.

This is very much appreciated I'm sure, because there is a tendency for the military and police to run with the attention in this regards, while firefighters and other rescuers also run a risk - and indeed die - from time to time.

Holmens Kirke, the Naval Church is I believe the closest thing we have to an official DRF church and a church for the uniformed branches we have here in DK.

Today, November 14, Princess Marie was present at the local finals of the Project Edison at the Øster Farimagsgades School in Copenhagen. Under the theme "Better and safer traffic" pupils from different school competed to find ideas for new traffic solutions.

The article with the video concentrates on something else though

Thanks, Iceflower

Here is another BB video: VIDEO: Prinsesse Marie modtaget som en rockstjerne | BILLED-BLADET

Our Marie got an enthusiastic welcome, when she arrived at the school, for the local-finals of Project Edison. The theme being how to prevent safety in the traffic.
Afterwards Marie said how impressive the ideas were.

This school is considered "immigrant-heavy".

As a member of the Civil Defense, our Marie today visited Jyllinge near the town of Roskilde: Prinsesse Marie besøger Jyllinge Nordmark
Prinsesse Marie: Vi skal forebygge stormflod | BILLED-BLADET

Jyllinge, which is located in Roskilde Fjord is one of the areas most hard hit by flooding after the storm yesterday.
Fortunately there was plenty of warning and the meteorologists were correct in their predictions, combined with yesterday being a holyday, no one was hurt and the damage caused by flooding is relatively limited.
The Civil Defense and Home Guard along with volunteers were ready and able to limit the worst effects of flooding.
Marie visited the area, along with those in charge of the operations and the local mayor. She also met and praised those who had taken part in the flood-prevention.
Afterwards she said: "It's a great job, the Civil defense is doing, but nature strikes hard.
We must find a solution so that damages can be prevented".

Marie spoke to TV2 News, so I guess a clip will be available shortly.

That also means that it is very likely that M&J went to Copenhagen either early yesterday or sometime today. Now that the bridges are open and the ferries sail normally again.

I'm very glad Marie is involved in this organization. They do important work

[carlota]

great visit by marie and at a time when she (and all the DRF) was 'on holiday'. i am glad she found time to visit the flooded area and comfort those affected, it shows she truly cares. i know first hand how meaningful such visits are when these things happen.

post on the DRF facebook

"HRH Princess Marie has over the past six years working with the Emergency Management Agency for a new prevention strategy.
Here is the princess to help shape a new action aimed at strengthening local networks and individual citizens to be better prepared for disaster situations."

I was going to complain about the wrong informations given by the royal house. (there was an announcement that Marie would work on this project starting with 27 June 2016 and suddenly she worked on it since 6 years?)
But I can see now that it's the translation which is wrong. It actually says:
"HRH Princess Marie has over the last half year worked with the Emergency Management Agency for a new prevention strategy."

Good project to work on! Well chosen.
