The Ethiopian Red Cross Society (ERCS), in partnership with the EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid, conducted an intensive training program aimed at enhancing the skills and knowledge of the Branch Disaster Response Teams (BDRT) comprising staff and volunteers from its Tigray and Afar Regional Branches.
The training focused on building a robust Disaster Response Team capable of effectively managing emergency needs assessments and response operations. Participants engaged in hands-on workshops, interactive sessions, and practical simulations to ensure they are well-prepared for real-life scenarios.
A total of 30 participants took part in the training, including 15 representatives from the Afar branch and 15 from the Tigray branch. Additionally, enthusiastic first responders from relevant stakeholders joined the sessions, actively contributing to the program and demonstrating their commitment to serving communities in times of need.
