Our Disaster Preparedness Training Sessions Continue
As part of the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) program supported by the European Commission, our volunteers are continuing their hands-on training in disaster preparedness through our You FuTuRe project, implemented by the Sorgun Youth Association (SORGED).
As part of the field search-and-rescue training conducted by the Yozgat Provincial Directorate of the Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD), our volunteers gained hands-on experience in searching for missing persons in the field, working as a team, using proper search methods, and coordinating during disasters and emergencies.
Later in the program, the volunteers visited the Service Dog Training Coordination Office at Yozgat Bozok University. Coordinator Dr. Mehmet İnan, Assistant Professor, provided comprehensive information on the training processes of service dogs, their roles in search-and-rescue operations, and, in particular, their tasks in locating survivors under rubble following an earthquake.
Through a hands-on search-and-rescue simulation, our volunteers had the opportunity to closely observe how service dogs work in coordination with teams in disaster zones and how they assist in locating missing persons.
