Hearts ready to help: volunteers in the field of emergency situations at the "Kind Tatarstan" contest
In the building of the Kazan fire and rescue unit No. 48, a full-time defense of the semi-finalists of the stage of the award in the field of volunteerism (volunteering) "Kind Tatarstan" in the direction of "Volunteer (volunteer) in the field of emergency situations" was held. The organizers try to hold events at specialized venues, which is why a fire and rescue unit was chosen for face-to-face protection. Diana Vedekhina, Head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Tatarstan, took part in the evaluation of the competition works among the jury.
The competition has been held for the fifth year. The purpose of the selection is to identify, support and reward volunteers for outstanding results in volunteering in the Republic of Tatarstan. About 500 applications have been submitted this year. There were 20 volunteers in the field of emergency situations. After a thorough online selection, the 5 most worthy ones reached the semi-finals of the competition.
The tasks of volunteers in the emergency zone are different. Some are engaged in search and rescue operations on the spot, others are working at the headquarters, others are sorting humanitarian aid and distributing it to the population. One thing unites these selfless people is a big heart and a willingness to give, not to be afraid of someone else's grief, but to do everything in their power to help. Volunteers for emergency services are additional workers, they receive special training.
The winners and laureates of the award will be determined by experts, leaders of voluntary and public associations, representatives of relevant ministries and departments of the Republic of Tatarstan. Summing up the results of the Award will traditionally take place at an award ceremony with the participation of top officials of the republic.
