Free course on flood prevention, rescue, and evacuation offered

A free training course on how to prevent, rescue and evacuate in the event of a flood will be provided, trainer U Maung (rescue) told The Global New Light of Myanmar (GNLM).
Protection, prevention, and rescue in the event of a flood or sudden flooding, as well as post-flood safety guidelines, will be featured in the training course, which is intended for volunteers from philanthropic groups.
“Volunteers from Parahita groups go to help people when a flood happens. Some know dos and don’ts for flood hazards, but some don’t have such knowledge. So, I want to share these tips as far as I know,” said U Maung.
This is free, and training organizers will incur all costs, including fees for pool and meals, he said.
The training programme, which was launched in 2017 in Kayin State, Magway Region, and Yangon Region, has gained attention, and he said that offers have been received to conduct it. — Thit Taw/ZS/ED
