07.02.2024: “Strengthening Local and National Capacities for Emergency Preparedness and Response in High Earthquake Risk and Natural Hazards Prone Countries of Central Asia”

In January 2024, the structure of the National Red Crescent Society of Turkmenistan began work on the project “Strengthening Local and National Capacities for Emergency Preparedness and Response in High Earthquake Risk and Natural Hazards Prone Countries of Central Asia”, funded by the International Federation of Red Crescent Societies Cross and Red Crescent.

The project is planned to be implemented until December 31, 2024. During the year, through the regional branches of the NRCST, new Public Committees will be opened in 15 communities of Turkmenistan. At the initial stage, introductory classes will be conducted with members of Public Committees on the rules of responding to emergency situations and the rules of first aid. In turn, members of the Public Committees will be required to conduct similar classes in their communities, thereby reaching a larger reach of recipients. Also, based on the proposals of the Public Committees, mitigation projects will be prepared and implemented, that is, projects aimed at reducing the risk of natural disasters.

Particular attention will be paid to working with young people, recruiting them as volunteers into the ranks of the National Society, preparing them for emergency situations and providing first aid to victims.

THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES

– Humanity

The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, born of a desire to bring assistance
without discrimination to the wounded on the battlefield, endeavours, in its international and
national capacity, to prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found. Its purpose
is to protect life and health and to ensure respect for the human being. It promotes mutual
understanding, friendship, cooperation and lasting peace amongst all peoples.

– Impartiality

It makes no discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions. It
endeavors to relieve the suffering of individuals, being guided solely by their needs, and to give
priority to the most urgent cases of distress.

– Neutrality

In order to continue to enjoy the confidence of all, the Movement may not take sides in hostilities or
engage at any time in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature.

– Independence

The Movement is independent. The National Societies, while auxiliaries in the humanitarian services
of their governments and subject to the laws of their respective countries, must always maintain
their autonomy so that they may be able at all times to act in accordance with the principles of the
Movement.

– Voluntary service

It is a voluntary relief movement not prompted in any manner by desire for gain.

– Unity

There can be only one Red Cross or one Red Crescent Society in any one country. It must be open
to all. It must carry on its humanitarian work throughout its territory.

– Universality

The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, in which all Societies have equal status
and share equal responsibilities and duties in helping each other, is worldwide.
