Honoring Achievements at the Swift Water and Rope

Scaling new heights in rescue readiness! 🪢🧗🏽‍♀️

The rope rescue segment of the 2024 Joint Indo-Pacific Region Swift Water and Rope Rescue Training Program equipped participants with much-needed skills for mastering advanced rope rescue techniques like ascending, descending, and rope-to-rope transfers, high angle elevation, stretcher rescue, anchor systems, team rescue, and hauling systems, while following safety protocols.

Every knot tied, every technique learned, brings us one step closer to saving lives when disaster strikes.

A-PAD Sri Lanka

Check out the highlights from the 2024 Joint Indo-Pacific Region Swift Water and Rope Rescue Training Program, where 14 members of Sri Lanka’s A-PAD Search and Rescue team teamed up with rescue personnel from Taiwan, Japan, the Philippines, and Thailand. Co-hosted by Taiwan’s National Fire Agency and A-PAD, and supported by the Connecting Business Initiative (CBi), this two-week intensive training pushed participants to their limits in some of the most challenging environments.

Led by internationally certified trainers, the program featured rigorous swift water rescue exercises followed by advanced rope rescue techniques, essential for both survival and emergency rescue operations. This hands-on training goes beyond skill-building—it's about strengthening regional cooperation, enhancing disaster preparedness, and ensuring that when the next crisis strikes, our teams are ready to respond, together.

The Asia Pacific Alliance for Disaster Management Sri Lanka held its annual international symposium under the theme "Turning the Tide: 20 Years of Tsunami Readiness and Resilience" to commemorate two decades since the tragic 2004 tsunami. This event brought together nearly 200 participants, including diplomats, international organizations, the private and public sectors, NGOs, and the UN.

The symposium provided a platform to reflect on lessons learned, assess current disaster preparedness, and discuss future strategies for enhancing resilience. It also marked the 10-year anniversary of A-PAD Sri Lanka, celebrating a decade of dedicated disaster response and humanitarian efforts.

Ready to Rescue: Strengthening Skills, Saving Lives!

The Asia Pacific Alliance for Disaster Management (A-PAD) Sri Lanka hosted the International Swift Water Search and Rescue (SAR) Level 02 Training for 2024 in Kithulgala from June 25th to 27th. Conducted by A-PAD Japan international instructors, this advanced training enhances the swift water rescue skills of participants from the Tri-forces, civil society, and the private sector. A-PAD ensures that our enhanced SAR team is ready to deploy in times of crisis. Participants mastered essential skills like rope techniques, swimming, and boat handling through rigorous simulations in the challenging waters of the Kelani River. The program not only adheres to international best practices but also strengthens Civil-Military Cooperation (CIMIC) and prepares for effective disaster response. The event concluded with a certificate distribution and award ceremony, highlighting the participants' dedication and the program's impact on enhancing Sri Lanka's disaster response capacity.

In a world where unforeseen disasters can strike at any moment, being equipped with essential skills like firefighting and first aid can make all the difference. Recognizing this imperative, on the 7th of March, 2024, Asia Pacific Alliance for Disaster Management Sri Lanka (A-PAD SL) took a significant step towards community empowerment by providing basic first aid and CPR training to a total of 1,150 students and 82 teachers from three schools in the Eastern Province of Srilanka, namely, BT/BC Rahumaniya Maha Vidyalaya, BT/BC Macan Markar Central College, and BT/BC Alighar Central College.

The International Symposium organized by the Asia Pacific Alliance for Disaster Management in Sri Lanka on the theme “Climate-Smart Collaboration: Accelerating the Transition towards a Climate- Resilient Future” have produced a wealth of insights and recommendations. The symposium brought together experts, leaders, and stakeholders from various sectors to discuss the pressing issues surrounding climate change and disaster risk reduction.
