Daily Overview Security EURO 2008, Tuesday, May 27, 2008 (miz)

MEASURING FLIGHTS IN LOW ALTITUDE: A measuring helicopter of the National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC) will fly over the St. Jakob-Park football stadium, the fan zones in Basle, the fan camp in Pratteln as well as the 9th stadium in Bubendorf on Thursday morning, May 29, 2008. As the measuring shall be conducted at an altitude of approximately 100 meter above ground level, short-term noise imissions are to be expected. The flights occur in the course of the yearly measurings in various areas of Switzerland. Their objective is to obtain maps of the natural radio activity. On this basis, even small deviations may easily be located in the case of an occurrence. Last year, NEOC measured the City of Basle and the entire tri-border region. The measuring flights of Thursday, however, are confined to a small part of the region and take place upon request of the Project Organisation Security EURO 2008 of the host city Basle.
