The Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition (IMCTC), in collaboration with Saudi Arabia’s General Directorate of Civil Defense, concluded the “Emergency and Disaster Management” program, held at the Civil Defense Institute in Riyadh. The program was attended by 23 trainees from 10 member states of the coalition, as part of the IMCTC’s efforts to build capacity and enhance professional readiness in responding to risks and emergencies.
Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Thursday that “this program is part of the coalition’s efforts to enhance the efficiency of specialized personnel, aiming to equip trainees with scientific and technical knowledge and skills that enable them to handle emergencies and disasters, particularly incidents involving hazardous materials, thereby contributing to improved response speed and more effective event management under exceptional circumstances.”
Over a two-week period, the program covered advanced training modules focused on emergency and disaster concepts and response strategies, as well as the preparation and implementation of necessary plans to address them. It also included instruction on the role of security commanders in media and communication during crises, alongside an overview of the principles of international humanitarian law and international cooperation in emergency and disaster situations.
