So excited to be launching our new Post-Crash Emergency Response training toolkit in #Tajikistan today with @EBRD @WBG_Transport #GRSF @FIRE_AID_UK @YGT_Tajikistan @GeorgeInstUK
50+ stakeholders in one room/Zoom – discussing vital post-crash vehicle collision response systems from the point of the vehicle collision, taking in the full lifecycle of immediate response, emergency medical care, trauma care & victim rehabilitation.
Now introducing @EBRD’s 6 easy-to-follow video animations covering the key stages of the post-crash response cycle:

Caring for victims







Effective post-crash response can make the difference between survival and death, preventing injuries becoming life changing.

It is vital that the emergency call handling chain has proper investment, equipment and trained personnel to ensure the best outcomes for road victims.

Joint planning is essential and the Rescue Plan should be implemented methodically. There should only be one person in charge, and one plan operating at any time.

Rehabilitation for victims reduces the impact of road injuries on their future lives. Both physical and mental rehabilitative care is often needed, as well as emotional support. Justice and prevention of future tragedies is also vital.

Where possible, different emergency services should train together to replicate the realities of real-life incidents. This helps services work together with agreed methods and goals. It’s also beneficial to train community volunteers.

The information collected at every crash is important. Good data shows an accurate understanding of road risk and emergency services’ needs.
Commitment to improving post-crash response is a core part of global action to reduce road casualties by 50% by 2030. #50by30
