NDRF showcases safety measures to handle disasters
New Delhi, June 28 The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) on Sunday organised "Community Capacity Building Programme" at two places in the national capital to make people aware of the safety measures to be adopted in times of disasters.

In the programme, held in Dwarka and Connaught Place areas of the city, the NDRF teams demonstrated 'pre-hospital treatment' skills to stablise the disaster victims by the medical first responder in the aftermath of any disaster.
"These demonstrations were followed by the exhibition of the state-of-the-art equipment related to the Medical First Response, Aquatic Disaster Response, Collapsed Structure Search and Rescue (CSSR) and Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) emergencies which are invariably used by NDRF during various search and rescue operations," it said, adding that the visitors were made aware about the use of these equipment.
