The Ukrainian Red Cross Participates in Disaster Risk Reduction Working Group
A representative from the Disaster Management Department of the Ukrainian Red Cross took part in the FCV Multiplayer Training of Trainers and the annual meeting of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies’ Disaster Risk Reduction Technical Working Group, held in Berlin from 22 to 26 September.
During the event, the Ukrainian Red Cross’s work in disaster risk reduction and civil protection in the context of war was presented.
The team shared their experience in:
- implementing programmes aimed at increasing community resilience to crises
- supporting affected communities and the safe evacuation of people
- enhancing systems for training volunteers and professionals to respond to emergencies
Such meetings are a valuable opportunity to exchange experience with colleagues from around the world, explore current approaches to disaster risk reduction, and strengthen international cooperation for the safety of communities.
We are grateful to the German Red Cross for the invitation and their ongoing partnership!
