The Ukrainian Red Cross (URC) is improving its crisis response mechanisms for emergency situations in cooperation with its partners.
“With the support of the German Red Cross, the Ukrainian Red Cross has delivered modern decontamination stations to the Rivne, Odesa, and Zaporizhzhia regions. These regions have an increased level of man-made and radiation hazards due to the location of nuclear power plants and large industrial enterprises,” the URC reported on Facebook on Saturday.
The first practical training exercises on deploying the stations took place at the training ground of the Main Directorate of the State Emergency Service in Rivne region. The event was attended by representatives of the UCC’s civil protection department and volunteers from rapid response teams from Kyiv, Rivne, Odesa, and Zaporizhzhia.
During the training, participants practiced decontamination, degassing, and sanitary treatment of equipment and victims.
Such training strengthens the teams’ readiness to work in real conditions and enhances cooperation between the Ukrainian Red Cross and the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.
