Emergency services must
be prepared in advance to respond to floods, wildfires, and other seasonal
hazards. Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has set this and other tasks
for newly appointed Minister for Emergency Situations Murat Mukhanov. The Head
of State instructed to develop district and rural units, improve their
technical capabilities, and enhance the public warning system. Other priorities
include industrial and seismic safety, training rescuers, and using artificial
intelligence to forecast and detect hazards at an early stage.
