Description
Initative aims to provide knowledge and practices in the field of protection and rescue by achieving bilateral and strategic cooperation, networking and exchange of knowledge between project partners CMRS and NRH. This project strengthens bilateral relations through the joint implementation of project activities that include: 1. Preparation of modular approach to threat; 2. Strengthening of expert capacities and short-term training regarding search and rescue and rescue from ruins after a seismic event; 3. promotion and visibility.
Summary of the results
Exchange of knowledge and practice in the field of protection and rescue in ruins, networking of project partners and creation of promotion and visibility of project participants was achieved. The specific goals that were achieved are:
- A modular approach to rescue from the ruins was rehearsed.
- An analysis of the activities of CMRS and NRH in post-earthquake operations, actions and operational capabilities that occurred in the past was made.
- A standard operating procedure (SOP) for the LUSAR module (Light Urban Search and Rescue) was developed within the project.
- Procurement of communication equipment and technical equipment.
- Technical and professional training and education of K9 search teams in work at height was held.
The first training included mountaineering-speleological rescue techniques as a basis for rescue from the ruins. The second training covered the use of modern technologies in rescue and the use of the Lost Person Behaviour doctrine, usage of unmanned aircraft systems, digital skills of mapping and creating search zones, keeping records of missing persons and a database for effective management of the rescue operation. Third training included rescue training from ruins using truck cranes and heavy machinery, using pyrotechnics to widen narrow passages and rock boulders, and lifting heavy loads. The fourth training session was exclusively focused on searching the ruins using K9 teams.
