All Istanbul residents are invited to the trainings.

FROM FIRST RESPONSE TO DAMAGE ASSESSMENT…
Disaster Volunteers training takes place under two main headings. First of all, the volunteers who receive the "Organization in Assembly Areas" training gain the ability to evaluate the post-disaster situation, to operate the crime scene management and recording system. Volunteers who complete the "First Responder Team" training can gain the skills to provide wreckage safety, damage assessment, fire response and first response to disaster victims in lightly damaged buildings.
THE PROJECT CHOSEN BY ISTANBUL PEOPLE
The Disaster Volunteers Project was evaluated by Istanbulites within the scope of IMM's Participatory Budget Practice and selected among 5 thousand projects. The project is carried out under the coordination of IMM AKOM (Disaster Coordination Centre), in cooperation with the AKUT Foundation and other relevant non-governmental organizations.
