Generating volunteer
to reduce disaster
losses stressed
RAJSHAHI: Generating
more volunteers from the
public in general,
particularly the students
and youths, can be the best
way of reducing losses
caused by different types of
disasters, reports BSS.
To decrease the loss of
lives and properties from
disasters, including
earthquake, Fire Service
and Civil Defence, Rajshahi
Division has decided to
form volunteer teams who
will work to rescue the
possible earthquake hit
people.
The observation came at a
daylong community
volunteers intensifying
training workshop hosted
by the divisional office of
Fire Service and Civil
Defense (FSCD) held at its
training room here on
Sunday.
FSCD Deputy Director

Assistant Director Jakir
Hossain, Senior Station
Officer Abdur Rouf and
Staff Officer Rashed Ahmed
conducted the training
sessions as resource persons
disseminating their
expertise on the issue.
Wahidul Islam said many
of the volunteers extend
their support during the
time of any disaster side by
side with the FSCD people.
At present, many modern
equipment and machinery
were added to the FSCD. So,
time has come to
disseminate ideas about the
operation of modern
machines to the volunteers.
In addition to the daylong
training, follow-up and
refreshers training for the
volunteers is very
important.

of the buildings in the city
are vulnerable to
earthquakes as those were
not built following the

decided to form volunteer
teams who will work to
rescue the possible
earthquake hit people.

Islam said it is quite impossible to rescue
the victims after a massive earthquake by
existing firefighting equipment and the man
power. For this reason, the FSCD has
decided to train 6,000 community
volunteers in the city.
Under this arrangement, two hundred
volunteers will be trained in each ward, he
added. At the first stage of the training, the
most vulnerable areas to earthquakes will be
identified.
Fishermen list is going to be edited excluding the non-fishermen in
Charfession.
