Are you interested in volunteering in emergency situations?

Come to the preparedness center training.

Residents of the province receive support and services from various authorities and organizations in the event of a disturbance from emergency centers. A disturbance situation can be, for example, a storm or a large power outage.

We are training 30 volunteers at the Imatra emergency center to support the activities of authorities and organizations.

The training will take place on Saturday 1.2.2020 February 09.00 from 18.00:4.3 to XNUMX:XNUMX at the Imatra sports hall. The training also includes practical training in the regional preparedness exercise XNUMX at Imatra.

Participating in the training does not require any prior knowledge - only an open mind and a desire to help. The age limit for training is 16 years.

30 volunteers will be accepted for the training.
