15.11.2024: Ready for any challenge: results of earthquake safety classes in Dashoguz velayat

In November, intensive earthquake safety theoretical and practical classes was conducted in schools №25, №29, and №36 of Dashoguz velayat, jointly organized by the National Red Cross Society of Turkmenistan (NRCST) and UNICEF.

The primary objective of the theoretical and practical classes was to enhance the knowledge of students and teachers regarding appropriate behavior during earthquakes and to impart essential first aid skills. Participants not only engaged in lectures but also actively practiced safe evacuation techniques and first aid procedures.

Seismic activity is a characteristic feature of our region, making the ability to respond effectively in emergency situations crucial. The theoretical and practical classes program encompassed both theoretical instruction and practical exercises. Participants gained insights into the causes of earthquakes, developed action plans for earthquake scenarios, and learned basics of delivering first aid. A total of 145 individuals, comprising students and teachers, participated in the theoretical and practical classes.

NRCST intends to continue this vital endeavor by expanding the geographical scope of the theoretical and practical classes and refining teaching methodologies.

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.
