Saturday’s training sessions include first aid (trained by paramedic Andrus Lehtmets) and urban survival (trained by Women’s Voluntary Defence Organisation instructors), which will take place in Väike-Õismäe. In addition, there will also be online training – instructors from the Municipal Police Authority will teach you how to draw up a crisis plan, and the Women’s Voluntary Defence Organisation online training will share smart evacuation knowledge.

“For the first time, Haabersti residents will be able to improve their crisis skills in their own town, with training provided by top specialists in the field. “We encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity, as participation is free,” said Hannes Nagel, Head of the Crisis Research Centre. “Our goal is to improve district residents’ preparedness for crisis situations. “If everyone has a broader range of knowledge and skills, we will be better able to deal with unexpected situations and support our families, friends, and the larger community,” he said.

Between February and May, 25 training sessions on various topics will be held, providing crisis skills to over 400 Haabersti residents. There are still spots available; to register for the training or join the waiting list, go to www.kruk.ee/en/oismae-en. 

🟧🟦 The activities of the K-24 project will be carried out by the Crisis Research Centre, and the implementation of the project activities is supported by the Civil Society Foundation through the Ministry of the Interior.
