MINSK, 27 August (BelTA) – Chairman of the House of Representatives Igor Sergeyenko called the University of Civil Protection of the Emergencies Ministry a “cradle of personnel”, BelTA has learned.
Chaired by Igor Sergeyenko, an expanded on-site meeting of the Council of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of Belarus took place at the University of Civil Protection of the Emergencies Ministry on 27 August. The meeting aims to discuss the improvement of the legal regulation of the operations of the Belarusian Emergencies Ministry (in preparation for the consideration of the draft law “On amending laws on the work of emergency response agencies and units” by the House of Representatives).
The parliamentarians were briefed on the capabilities of the Emergencies Ministry at the University of Civil Protection. Participants of the on-site meeting evaluated the process of training rescuers. The cadets’ performance in emergency response scenarios, from road to chemical accidents and firefighting, as well as using climbing gear for rescues, demonstrated the seamless link between theory and practice. They also learned about the training programs for rescue drivers and swimmers, drone operators and smoke divers, and modern equipment used by Emergencies Ministry units. In deep respect for the ultimate sacrifice, the parliamentarians laid flowers at the monument to Emergencies Ministry workers, who died fulfilling their duty.
“The work on improving laws in the operations of the Emergencies Ministry has a consistent and systematic nature. I am sure today’s discussion with a wide range of interested parties will contribute to working out joint decisions on improving the legal regulation in the emergency response. It will be reflected by the law [“On amending laws on the work of emergency response agencies and units”],” the speaker emphasized.

“The venue of our meeting was not chosen randomly. This state-run higher education institution is the main cradle for training highly qualified specialists in fire safety, protection against natural and man-made emergencies. We saw for ourselves the training base for future officers of the Emergencies Ministry. It is exactly the place, which allows one to comprehensively consider theoretical matters of the operation of the Emergencies Ministry and practical aspects of implementing legislative norms,” Igor Sergeyenko noted.
The meeting of the Council of the House of Representatives discussed matters of the development of the emergency response system in modern conditions, the improvement of the legal regulation of the operations of the Emergencies Ministry, and the development of the national school for training rescuers and firefighters.
