28.02.2025: Ashgabat Simulation-Training Highlights NRCST’s Contribution to Disaster Risk Reduction

On February 25–26, 2025, Ashgabat hosted a large-scale simulation-training titled “Enhancing Interagency Collaboration for Earthquake Risk Reduction,” organized by the State Disaster Response Team. The event united ministries, local authorities, and social institutions to practice coordinated actions during emergencies. 

The National Red Crescent Society of Turkmenistan (NRCST) emerged as one of the key participants, showcasing its high professional standards and advanced technical capabilities. Within a specially equipped pavilion, NRCST specialists—first aid instructors and disaster response experts—conducted a series of workshops. They demonstrated modern methods of first aid in emergencies, including the use of portable equipment, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and casualty evacuation procedures. 

NRCST’s mobile medical complexes for rapid deployment in disaster zones, drew particular attention. Representatives of state agencies and local executive bodies praised the society’s operational readiness, emphasizing its role in strengthening cross-sector collaboration. 

During the simulation exercises, NRCST also contributed to refining communication protocols and resource allocation strategies, reaffirming its reputation as a reliable partner in Turkmenistan’s Disaster preparedness framework. The focus was on integrating the society’s methodologies into nationwide risk reduction programs. 

The event underscored NRCST’s strategic role in enhancing Turkmenistan’s resilience to natural disasters. By demonstrating its professional expertise and technical resources, the society reinforced its position as a leading organization in humanitarian response and public preparedness.

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.
