RENO, Nev. (August 22, 2024) – The American Red Cross of Northern Nevada will host a delegation of scientists and engineers from Kazakhstan to discuss strategies for enhancing earthquake preparedness. The meeting will be held today, Thursday, August 22, at 9 a.m. at the Red Cross Reno office, located at 4750 Longley Ln., Suite 101. Media representatives are encouraged to attend.

“The American Red Cross is committed to helping communities prepare for and respond to natural disasters, such as earthquakes,” said Tiandra Rushing, executive director of the American Red Cross Northern Nevada Chapter. “We are excited to share our knowledge and learn from the distinguished professionals visiting from Kazakhstan. This exchange of ideas is essential to strengthening our collective ability to save lives and reduce the impact of disasters.”

Earlier this year, a major earthquake that struck Kazakhstan’s largest city exposed gaps in the country’s disaster preparedness, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said. The incident highlighted the need to improve emergency management and public awareness.

Sharing Preparedness Education Strategy The visit emphasizes the importance of preparedness and the proactive measures that can be taken to ensure the safety and well-being of communities. By sharing best practices, the Red Cross of Northern Nevada aims to provide the Kazakh delegation with the knowledge needed to make significant progress in earthquake preparedness.

Trained Red Cross volunteers and staff will provide various programs used to prepare locals for earthquakes and other disasters. One such program, “Preparing with Pedro,” teaches children from kindergarten to second grade how to prepare and respond during emergencies.

“Teaching children to be prepared from an early age instills in them a sense of responsibility and awareness that can greatly impact their safety and the safety of those around them,” Rushing added. “By equipping them with the knowledge and skills, we are empowering the next generation to face emergencies with confidence and resilience, and ensuring they contribute positively to their communities in times of crisis.”

In addition to child-focused education, Red Cross officials will share broader preparedness strategies that emphasize community resilience. These strategies include equipping people with the knowledge and training to act immediately after an earthquake, rather than waiting for a warning.
