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.

A-PAD Sri Lanka's SAR Refresher Discussion on October 22, 2023, brought together civil and military experts to pave a path toward more effective Search and Rescue (SAR) operations.

With representatives from esteemed organizations, including Capital Maharaja Group , Lion Brewery Ceylon PLC , Sri Lanka Air Force, Sri Lanka Life Saving, & The Pearl Protectors the discussion showcased a commitment to excellence and collaboration within the A-PAD framework.

A Glimpse of Our Changing World!

Presented at the A-PAD International Symposium 2023, this powerful video sheds light on the undeniable truth: our planet is undergoing rapid, drastic changes due to climate change. It's a wake-up call and an invitation to join hands and forge a path towards a climate-resilient tomorrow.

The harsh reality of melting ice caps, intensifying natural disasters, and vanishing species isn't just a series of disconnected events; it's a story of a world crying out for change. Through captivating visuals and compelling data, this video drives home the immediacy and scale of the challenge ahead.

But amidst the concerning truths, there is hope. With "Climate-Smart Collaboration Accelerating Transition Towards a Climate-Resilient Tomorrow" as our guiding theme, the A-PAD International Symposium urges us to recognize that the solutions lie in unity, knowledge, innovation, and collective action.
