MINSK, 8 November (BelTA) – Belarusian rescuers have studied advanced technologies and best practices of their Chinese counterparts, BelTA learned from the Belarusian Emergencies Ministry.
As part of an official visit to China, a delegation of the Belarusian Emergencies Ministry led by Emergencies Minister Vadim Sinyavsky explored cutting-edge technologies and best practices in emergency prevention and response. Key sites for the visit included emergency response units in Hainan Province.
The Belarusian minister examined in detail the operational methods of the Chinese agency, the procedures of its departments, the mobilization of resources for emergency response, and the system of coordination with various rescue services. Consideration was given to the crisis management center. This high-tech facility functions as an integrated system that monitors weather conditions, seismic activity, water levels, and other critical parameters in real time. Modern digital control panels, automated risk analysis algorithms powered by artificial intelligence, and a multi-level public alert system were all subjects of study for the Belarusian delegation.
“We saw how modern technologies can effectively enhance public safety. This is experience worth adopting,” Vadim Sinyavsky noted, emphasizing the significance of these insights for the development of Belarus’ emergency response system.
The delegation also visited a fire and rescue station, where they observed duty organization, emergency and fire response procedures, and the equipment of modern fire and rescue vehicles and tools. The focus was also on methods and technical means for extinguishing electric vehicle battery fires. Among the exhibits presented to the delegation were tankers with foam generators, robotic systems for high-risk environments, and drones equipped with thermal cameras widely used for rapid reconnaissance. The advanced training system for specialists, incorporating VR technologies and highly realistic simulators, was also highlighted.
“The results of the visit will enable the Belarusian side to conduct a detailed analysis of the gained experience and consider adapting and implementing these best practices into the national emergency prevention and response system,” the press service of the Belarusian Emergencies Ministry emphasized.
