On October 13, 2024, we celebrate the 35th International Day for Disaster Reduction. In light of this, the Fire and Rescue Team in the Ali region of Tibet has launched a series of educational activities aimed at raising public awareness about fire safety and enhancing the community’s capacity to respond to disasters and implement self-rescue techniques. The theme for this year’s observance is “Empowering the Next Generation, Building a Resilient Future,” and the team is committed to fostering an environment where everyone learns about disaster prevention and reduction.
The fire rescue team is actively engaging the community by distributing fire safety brochures and materials to educate the public on disaster knowledge and essential skills for prevention and response. They also hold informational sessions to address questions related to disaster preparedness. Key topics include fire prevention, initial fire suppression techniques, how to make emergency calls, and safe evacuation procedures. The goal is to instill a strong sense of fire safety and awareness among the populace.
Moving forward, the team plans to continue innovating their educational approaches and reinforcing fire safety messages to equip the public with more knowledge about fire safety and disaster prevention skills. This initiative aims to enhance everyone’s ability to avoid danger and perform self-rescue and mutual assistance in emergency situations.
