THE SIMULATION OF EVACUATION HAS BEEN CARRIED OUT AT “m² AT TAMARASHVILI”

The development company m² held a simulation of evacuation on “m² at Tamarashvili” (during the earthquake followed by the fire) together with German International Organization Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB). The residents of the same complex took part in it.
The Emergency Management Agency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, police and emergency medical personnel participated in this simulation.
Such training was conducted in the residential complex in Georgia for the first time. It aimed at preventing risks and introducing the population to the behavior standards during disasters.
Cooperation between m² and ASB is oriented on implementing a pilot project in a particular complex of the development company, which includes activities defined by the Disaster Risk Management Program: conducting trainings, dissemination of educational materials for residents, practical activities of disaster risk management in the form of simulation, retraining of m² personnel and establishing special security headquarters. It is important that the Disaster Risk Management Program provides an inclusive approach.
The project is implemented by the international non-governmental organization Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB) with the financial support of the Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations, within the DIPECHO IV phase of the current project “We are ready! Education for Safety, Inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction”.
