The next-door neighbour talked me into training – present I think it was a large idea. I urge everyone, I think that everyone should get specified skills – emphasises Ewa Doroz-Jakubowska, the associate of the training.

RECLAMA

– I came out of curiosity to see what the show looked like in the media. I signed up for a website. I think that everyone should know the basic safety principles that they prepare for emergency situations that may happen on a regular basis. – adds Andrzej Walarczyk, a associate in the programme.

During the breaks between training modules, participants could regenerate their forces with a military meal. They were completed with certificates confirming participation and individual first aid kits as applicable gifts.

Further training will take place in Kielce – 7 and 10 December and in Ostrowc Świętokrzyski – 3 and 13 December. The records are conducted through the mCitizen app, where you can choose the convenient date and location.

– I am glad that our society uses the offer of the Polish Army and thus, raising its awareness, builds the resilience of our tiny homeland to crisis situations. The “inReady” programme shows that safety work begins at local level – in our families, towns and communities. Any subsequent associate who acquires applicable cognition and skills becomes a real strengthening of the state safety system. This proves that the joint actions of the military and society bring tangible results and form the foundation of national resilience – noted Colonel Sławomir Machniewicz, commander of 10 WBOT.
