Safety and Health: Inclusion to Emergency Training and First Aid for Disabled Persons

<< Objectives >>Our goal is to enhance the resilience and participation of people with disabilities by actively involving them in emergency preparedness and disaster protection. Through this project, we will provide training for both civil protection units and individuals with disabilities to ensure better preparedness for rescue operations and to increase awareness of the specific needs of people with disabilities in disaster scenarios. We are developing and testing tailored training materials for both groups.<< Implementation >>We will analyze the needs of civil protection staff (mostly volunteers) and people with disabilities to revise training materials for First Aid and civil protection courses. Instructors will be trained to teach First Aid to people with disabilities and equip civil protection units with the necessary skills. A final practical exercise will ensure the application of newly acquired knowledge in real-life scenarios.<< Results >>1.
