Aviation as a Lifeline: Airlink Panel in Singapore

Aviation as a Lifeline: Airlink Panel in Singapore Spotlights the Power of Collaboration in Disaster Response across the Asia Pacific
At the Airlink panel in Singapore, Mr. Firzan Hashim, Country Director of A-PAD Sri Lanka, highlighted how pre-established partnerships, airline support, and coordinated logistics can translate into faster and more effective disaster response.

Drawing from A-PAD Sri Lanka’s experience during Cyclone Ditwah, he emphasized the critical role of collaboration across government, the private sector, humanitarian organisations, and the aviation industry. When airlines make cargo space available for humanitarian relief, and Airlink coordinates the logistics to move that assistance where it is needed, critical supplies can reach affected communities faster.

For A-PAD Sri Lanka, effective disaster response depends on strong partnerships built before a crisis. From mobilising resources to coordinating transport and ensuring assistance reaches the last mile, every link in the response chain matters.

For airlines, even available cargo space can become a lifeline. For humanitarian actors, effective coordination turns that capacity into timely assistance. Together, they can help move relief faster to the people who need it most.

Because the partnerships that enable a rapid response are built long before disaster strikes.

World Drowning Prevention Day | 25th July Behind

World Drowning Prevention Day | 25th July

Behind every water rescue is months of training, discipline, and readiness.

Our A-PAD Sri Lanka Search and Rescue team trains year-round in swift water and open water rescue techniques — so that when someone is in trouble, help arrives fast and knows exactly what to do.

Drowning is preventable. Preparedness saves lives — and that starts long before an emergency happens.

This World Drowning Prevention Day, we honor the responders who show up in the water so others don’t go under.

#WorldDrowningPreventionDay #A-PADSriLanka #SearchAndRescue #WaterSafety #DisasterPreparedness

World Drowning Prevention Day | 25th July Drownin

World Drowning Prevention Day | 25th July

Drowning can happen silently and fast — but knowing what to do in the water can save your life.

Flip, Float, and Follow:

Flip onto your back if you get into trouble

Float — keep your head above water, stay calm, and conserve energy

Follow the safest path to safety — don’t fight the current, swim perpendicular to it, and signal for help if you’re too tired to continue

⚠️ Know the real signs of drowning — it rarely looks like splashing and shouting: Facing the shore • Mouth at water level • Head tilted back • Body upright in the water • A climbing-ladder motion with the arms

This #WorldDrowningPreventionDay, learn to recognize it, know how to respond — and help us build safer waters for everyone.
