As part of its ongoing efforts to educate the public on proper
conduct during emergencies, the relevant departments of the
Ministry of Emergency Situations (MES) have organized a series of
awareness events across the country, AzerNEWS
reports.

Experts from the State Fire Control Service, the Small Vessels
Supervision Service, and the Water Rescue Service participated in
the initiatives. The Baku Regional Center (RC) held sessions at the
Baku Main Customs Department, Secondary School No. 121 in the
Khazar district, and the Ankara School-Lyceum in the Narimanov
district.

Meanwhile, the Ganja RC organized an event at “Yeni Ganja Hotel
Company” LLC, and the Karabakh RC visited Secondary School No. 2 in
Khachinabad village, Beylagan district. The Aran RC conducted
awareness activities at the administrative building of the
Qashalti-Qaraqoyunlu village representative office in Naftalan city
and at the secondary school in Qarqucaq village, Goranboy district.
In the northwest, the Ismayilli village of Mollaisaqli school and
Ismayilli City Kindergarten No. 4 hosted MES awareness sessions.
The North RC held its event at the Bostanchi village secondary
school in Khachmaz district.

The primary goal of these events was to equip citizens with the
necessary knowledge and skills to respond safely to natural and
man-made emergencies. Participants received detailed information
about the classification of emergencies, the types of incidents
most common in Azerbaijan, including fires and earthquakes and the
essential safety measures to follow in such situations.

Additionally, the purpose and use of MES’s emergency hotline,
“112,” were explained, and demonstrations on how to operate basic
firefighting equipment were conducted. The interactive format
encouraged participants to ask questions, all of which were
answered thoroughly by the experts.

Through these engaging initiatives, the Ministry continues to
strengthen public preparedness and promote a culture of safety
nationwide.
