Tajikistan will host international exercises for rescuers from Central Asian countries, the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Tajikistan reported.

The main objective of the exercises is to improve interagency and cross-border cooperation mechanisms, increase the operational readiness of emergency rescue units, and test the effectiveness of deploying forces and resources in natural disasters caused by seismic activity and increasing climate risks.

To accomplish these tasks, rescuers will use modern all-terrain vehicles, rescue equipment, hydraulic rescue tools, radiation, chemical, and biological protection equipment, as well as specialized mountaineering and diving equipment.

The international exercises are organized as part of the regional forum «Water and Climate Risks: Science, Monitoring, and Management» and are aimed at comprehensively practicing interstate response algorithms for dealing with the aftermath of a large-scale destructive earthquake.
