As part of the project, the Crisis Research Centre is training at least 20 people in Nõmme who will strengthen the community-based crisis network being developed in western Tallinn. The network will be coordinated by the City of Tallinn through the Tallinn Municipal Police Department.

“As this is the first time we have implemented a project in Nõmme City District, we are particularly pleased that the second group also developed strong synergy and interaction between participants from the very beginning. This is one of the foundations of the long-term sustainability of our projects. Community-based civil protection only makes sense if people themselves are willing to continue developing both the field and the relationships created through it,” said Hannes Nagel, KRAKO Project Manager.

“Today’s training day focuses specifically on practical community and civil protection first aid. We are giving participants practical, genuinely useful skills they can rely on both in everyday situations and in a crisis. We are not in the business of box-ticking, the point is to teach people things they actually need when it matters,” Nagel added.
