Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- From today the Tashkent Earthquake Simulation Complex at the Institute of Civil Defense has started working. The launch of this Complex is an essential step in the preparation for disaster, provision of safety and security to save lives.
Uzbekistan is located in the seismically-active Central Asian region, where the risk of earthquake disasters is high. Preparedness for extreme situations is a current issue for our country.
The launched Complex will serve as an effective and useful platform to build public awareness of Uzbekistan’s vulnerability to seismic events, and educate the public on the best means of preparing for and behaving during earthquakes. The Complex will work to develop and adopt strategies to increase awareness on the threat of natural disasters and improving their skills on how to save when disasters strike. Different activities and trainings offered by the complex will help to provide better preparedness of vulnerable communities, and to reduce possible damages and consequences.
Tashkent’s Earthquake Simulation Complex will provide opportunities for national stakeholders to participate in a simulated earthquake that will help them better prepare for disasters. Preparedness is the key to helping save lives and enable faster recovery.
The facility has been built to national and international standards of construction, and is located at the Institute of Civil Protection of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
The complex was established in cooperation between UNDP and the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Ministry of Culture and Sports, with support from the European Commission’s Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection Department (ECHO) within its Disaster Preparedness Programme DIPECHO VII for Central Asia.
