Talábriga - Search and Rescue aims to carry out activities within the scope of Training, Emergency and Civil Protection, developing bonds of camaraderie among all its members.
According to the existing training and relief framework in mainland Portugal, there are several gaps in response and intervention, relief and rescue of victims in collapsed structures and / or in situations of calamity, serious accident or catastrophe.
In this way, and in order to develop these practices, the present association intends to cooperate actively with different entities related to training, civil protection and medical emergency. Since the fundamental basis of this Association is based on a perspective of volunteering, support from the community is necessary for this to be possible. The funds collected through this campaign will allow for this: the consolidation of a project with several aspects and with a perspective of volunteering and help.
Specific objectives
It is intended to be within the competence of Talábriga - Search and Rescue:
- The formation of the elements according to the training plan;
- Participation in debate and knowledge sharing events;
- Defending the interests of the community in relation to the provision of relief;
