Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev was briefed by Minister of Emergency Situations Chingis Arinov on the modernization of the civil protection system. Over the past two years, the Ministry’s units have received around 1,500 pieces of equipment. The Ministry is also upgrading its aviation fleet, while modern rescue equipment, drones and communications systems are being supplied. These measures have improved the speed of response to emergencies. At the same time, the network of rescue units is expanding, with new multipurpose units, as well as aviation and maritime teams, being established. Under the Auyl Kutkarushylary program, 237 volunteer fire stations have been built in the regions. Work is also continuing to develop the public emergency alert system. The capabilities of the Ministry's Situation Centre are being enhanced, while technologies for the early detection of wildfires are being introduced.
