class=\"wp-block-heading has-palette-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6\">Purpose of the Drills<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The drills aimed to strengthen the capacity of local communities, volunteers and relevant stakeholders to prepare for cyclones, respond to emergencies and support safe evacuation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The activities provided opportunities to practise responding to early warnings, moving people from exposed households to designated shelters, assisting people requiring additional support and coordinating rescue activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-palette-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7\">Preparation and Local Coordination<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the drills, AVAS coordinated with the Upazila Nirbahi Officer and upazila administration, relevant Union Parishads, local representatives, community volunteers, teachers and residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants received an initial briefing on the purpose of the exercises, planned activities and their respective responsibilities. Each drill followed a simulated cyclone scenario through successive stages of warning, preparation, evacuation and emergency response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-palette-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8\">Practising Early Warning and Safe Evacuation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Community volunteers practised disseminating cyclone warnings and helping residents prepare to move to safety. Participants rehearsed evacuation from at-risk households to designated safe shelters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exercises emphasised maintaining order, avoiding panic and following safety instructions during evacuation. Volunteers helped organise community members and supported their movement towards shelters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-palette-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9\">Prioritizing People Requiring Additional Support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both drills gave particular attention to assisting <strong>women, children, older people, pregnant women and persons with disabilities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants practised providing priority assistance during evacuation and considered the different support needs of community members. These exercises highlighted the importance of including people requiring additional assistance in local preparedness and response arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-palette-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-10\">Rescue, Communication and Volunteer Responsibilities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The simulated emergency included practical exercises on rescue activities, volunteer responsibilities and the use of necessary rescue equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Volunteers, local representatives and community members also practised exchanging information and working together. Their roles included communicating warnings, mobilising residents, assisting evacuation and supporting rescue operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-palette-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-11\">Learning from Practical Exercises<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The activity report records increased awareness of cyclone warnings and a clearer understanding of actions to take during an emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants gained practical experience in evacuation procedures, assisting people at greater risk and coordinating their response. The drills also helped clarify community volunteers\u2019 responsibilities and reinforced cooperation among residents, volunteers and local representatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through these exercises, AVAS supported community members in translating preparedness information into practical action and strengthening their readiness for cyclone emergencies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AVAS held an awareness and network-building activity on 13 October 2026 at Government Children\u2019s Family (South), Barishal, to mark International Day of the Girl Child.
