Employees of the Mary velayat department of the National Red Crescent Society of Turkmenistan are carrying out a number of measures aimed at raising awareness among the population on the rules of behavior during emergencies. In case of emergencies, the main task of the National Red Crescent Society of Turkmenistan is to provide humanitarian, psychosocial and first aid to the affected population.
    An employee of the Mary velayat department of the National Red Crescent Society of Turkmenistan also conducts a number of events among teachers and schoolchildren on the rules of behavior during emergencies. An example of this can be an event held in April 2021 within the framework of the project “Building Resilience of Vulnerable Communities to External Impacts by Adopting Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction in Central Asia” among schoolchildren. In accordance with the approved plan of this project, with the participation of the staff of the Mary velayat department of the National Red Crescent Society, schoolchildren competed among themselves in providing first aid during emergency situations before providing specialized assistance to the victim, preventing further injuries. They received knowledge on the rules of conduct in case of floods, fires and earthquakes. This will allow schoolchildren to act correctly, save the lives of people who have suffered from various accidents in different areas.
