The Armenian Red Cross Society organized a training session for the entire staff of the ARCS Gyumri 24-hour care center (71 participants) and program volunteers (25 participants) within the framework of “Working 2gether: Working together for quality care, well-being and dignity” (W2) project, funded by Austrian Development Cooperation. The training equipped the participants with knowledge about the types of disasters, introduced the means of protection of the population - evacuation, shelter, personal protection, as well as early warning systems and so on. At the end of each session the participants practically found out what problems they face, what are the obstacles during the evacuation, and made respective suggestions. At the end people in charge were selected for each building, who will regularly transfer their knowledge to the residents of the center.
