"Participants are also equipped with the ability to build effective coordination between emergency response team members," he explained.
According to him, this training is part of the South Jakarta PMI's commitment to building a culture of safety awareness, improving human resource competency, and strengthening disaster preparedness systems in the workplace and educational institutions.
Meanwhile, one of the participants, Andy Gumelar, said that the training he attended provided a very useful experience because the material presented was combined with practices that resembled real conditions in the field.
"We were also taught in detail. Hopefully, if a disaster occurs, we can apply it effectively," he hoped.
