On September 5, 2023, the 14th meeting of the Coordination Council for Emergency Situations of the CSTO member states will be held in the city of Minsk with the participation of the heads of rescue departments, which will be attended by the delegation of the Republic of Tajikistan led by the Chairman of the CoES, Colonel-General of Police R. Nazarzoda.
During the meeting, the parties will discuss issues of strengthening interaction mechanisms on issues of preventing and responding to emergency situations under the auspices of the CSTO. Participants will also sum up the results of the exercises “Skala-2023” and “Safe Arctic-2023”, consider the results of the Council’s activities during the reporting period and approve a plan of joint activities for the next year.
From September 1 to 6, the Republic of Belarus is hosting a special training exercise for rescue units of the CSTO countries “Skala – 2023”, in which rescuers from the CoES of Tajikistan take part. Also, teams from the republics of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and the Russian Federation are taking part in the exercise. CSTO rescuers will develop skills in jointly responding to radiation accidents in destroyed buildings, eliminating accidents involving sources of ionizing radiation in road, rail and air transport, and will also carry out rescue operations in areas of destruction of building structures and at heights.
Conducting these exercises helps to increase the level of coherence and coordination of the actions of rescue forces of the CSTO member states, scientific and technical support and multi-level specialized training.
As part of the events, the delegation of the Republic visited fire rescue unit No. 30 and fire rescue unit No. 23 of the city of Minsk. They got acquainted with the material and technical base of the units. We looked at the conditions of service of the workers of the Minsk garrison, as well as emergency rescue vehicles and equipment in service with rescuers, the Museum of Firefighting and Emergency Rescue, and the Educational Center for Life Safety of the University of Civil Protection of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
