Rescue bears for children with disabilities are one of the manifestations of attention, warmth, support and care from adults. They organize a small holiday for the children: they play, communicate, create an atmosphere of comfort and acceptance. This format helps children open up and feel part of a big and kind world. This initiative is designed to teach children the basics of life safety through modern interactive formats and excursions to specialized exhibitions in the Region. Soft toys serve as another tool of psychological support and a symbol of concern for the safety of children. According to Emergencies Ministry psychologists, the image embodied in a soft toy will help give confidence and courage to a child when he is scared. The rescue bear loves to listen to stories about safety rules and will always remind you with his presence of the number 112, where you can always ask for help. The social project “School of Young Firefighters of Siberia 3.0: Safety is Nearby” was created by the joint efforts of EMERCOM Main Office for the Novosibirsk Region, the Regional public organization “Volunteer Firefighters and Rescuers” and the Center for Providing Activities in the Field of Civil Defense, Emergency Situations and Fire Safety with the support of the Ministry of Labor and Social Development of the Region As the organizers note, it is planned to give 50 toys to young residents of the Region for the event. The rest - specialists from the EMERCOM of Russia - will be given to children during rescue and assistance. The fourth day of the All-Russian mine rescue competition in Kuzbass Wed, 05 Aug 26 14:00:00 +0300 https://en.mchs.gov.ru/for-mass-media/novosti/5806411 Three intense days of competition are already behind us, which brought many unforgettable impressions to the participants and guests of the All-Russian Mine Rescue Competition. Teams from the Federal State Institution “National Mountain Rescue Center” and branches of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “VGSCh” (VGSO South and Center, VGSO Rostov Region, Novokuznetsk VGSO, Prokopyevsky VGSO, VGSO Pechora Basin) are entering the competition for prizes at the “Mine Rescue and Fire Fighting” stage. The main intrigue is whether this year the Prokopyevsky VGSO team will be able to beat the Novokuznetsk VGSO team. Let us remind you that in both 2022 and 2024 the silver of the stage remained with the team of the Novokuznetsk VGSO, and the bronze - with the team of the Prokopyevsky VGSO. All judges of the stage are working today in maximum concentration mode, because according to the practice of previous competitions, there will be a serious struggle for every minute, every point, especially since the team of the Kemerovo VGSO - the winner of this stage in 2022 and 2024 - does not participate in these All-Russian mine rescue competitions. A day earlier, the judges of the “First Aid” stage faced the same tests from the confrontation between the teams of Novokuznetsk VGSO and Prokopyevsk VGSO. The Prokopyevsky VGSO team snatched victory from the Novokuznetsk VGSO team in 2024. Today, at the “First Aid” stage in the city of Leninsk-Kuznetsky, teams from the Federal State Institution "VGSCh DPR", the Federal State Institution "VGSCH LPR", the Federal Institution "VGSCH in Construction", JSC "SUEK", the Polar Division of PJSC "MMC "Norilsk Nickel", PJSC "Priargunsky Industrial Mining and Chemical Association" are competing. In the realities of today, it is difficult to find teams that have more serious experience in providing first aid than the experience of the teams of the FGKU "VGSCh DPR", FGKU "VGSC LPR", which is used not only in the service. At the “Theoretical Exam” stage, teams from the branches of the FSUE “VGSC” are tested: VGSO North-East, VGSO North-West, VGSO Siberia and Altai, VGSO Eastern Siberia, VGSO Prikamye, VGSO Far East. The main question here is: will the VGSO Prikamye, the winner of this stage in 2024, be able to continue the victorious march? We are waiting for the results. The EMERCOM of Russia and the PSB will provide support to residents of Regions affected by emergency situations Wed, 05 Aug 26 13:00:00 +0300 https://en.mchs.gov.ru/for-mass-media/novosti/5806410 The head of the EMERCOM of Russia, Alexander Kurenkov, and the Chairman of the PSB, Petr Fradkov, entered into an agreement to expand support measures for residents of Russian Regions affected by emergency situations.

You can apply for them within 3 months from the moment of deterioration in living conditions and loss of property as a result of an emergency. “The creation of preferential lending programs for affected citizens is one of the sections of a comprehensive system of social guarantees implemented by the EMERCOM of Russia. Work to improve support mechanisms is carried out in various areas. Firstly, the provision of financial support measures in electronic form, which simplifies the procedure for receiving them and reduces the delivery time. Secondly, new measures are being introduced. The number of partners with whom the EMERCOM of Russia works in this area is also increasing,” said Alexander Kurenkov. “PSB takes an active part in economic and social projects of a national scale. We are implementing a number of targeted programs aimed at financial protection and improving the well-being of residents of Russian Regions. In an emergency situation, the speed and availability of support becomes a matter of social responsibility: it is important not only to quickly restore the infrastructure and organize the work of public utilities, but also to quickly provide the necessary assistance and support to every resident who finds himself in a difficult life situation,” noted Pyotr Fradkov.
