AFAD disaster response accreditation in Van

Overview

AFAD search and rescue teams in Van have been engaged in intensive accreditation processes to meet INSARAG standards. Initial efforts focused on continuous, long-term examinations testing technical skills such as structural shoring, metal cutting, and high-angle rescue maneuvers to ensure personnel competence and operational coordination.

This training evolved into a larger regional accreditation camp held at Van Eski Fidanlık Park. This event brought together 810 members from 53 teams representing public, private, and non-governmental sectors across 23 provinces. The initiative aims to establish service standards and strengthen cooperation within the Turkey Disaster Response Plan through information sharing and teamwork exercises.
