Sri Lanka’s Southwest Monsoon 2026 is active. The DMC has identified 14 high-risk districts and over 106,000 people at risk this season — Gampaha, Colombo, Kandy, Puttlam, Galle, and Ratnapura among the highest. Over the next week, we’re sharing everything your household needs to know: forecasts, home checks, emergency kits, and community action. Save this. Share it with someone in a risk district.

Follow along — because preparation is the only thing that changes the outcome.

Experience the highlights of the Joint Indo-Pacific Rope Rescue & Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) Training 2025

This video showcases an intensive, hands-on training programme co-hosted by A-PAD in partnership with Taiwan’s National Fire Agency (NFA). From advanced rope rescue systems and shoring to concrete extrication, search technologies, and a full-scale earthquake response simulation, participants were pushed to operate under realistic, high-pressure scenarios.

More than a training, this programme represents a shared commitment to regional cooperation, professional excellence, and saving lives—strengthening disaster preparedness across the Indo-Pacific.

A-PAD International Symposium 2025

Five days after the 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar on March 28, 2025, GEA supported by A-PAD International arrived in response to an international call for assistance. In Naypyidaw, a 26-year-old hotel staff member was rescued from the rubble of the Aye Chan Thar Hotel. The survivor was safely evacuated and is reported to be in good health.

Accredited by the United Nations INSARAG and AFAD, GEA is a Turkish search and rescue NGO and has been a close partner of A-PAD since 2016.

Watch the moment the search and rescue team makes first visual contact with the survivor before carrying out the successful evacuation.

Myanmar Earthquake: Survivor Rescued Five Days After Disaster

Mr. Firzan Hashim, Country Director of A-PAD Sri Lanka, highlights the critical role of Civil-Military Coordination in Search and Rescue operations.

CIMIC SAR in 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.

Watch the future of rescue operations unfold in action!
