DUSHANBE, December 16, 2009, Asia-Plus  — The Disaster Risk Management Program of the German Agency for Technical Cooperation (GTZ) donated mountain and river search-and-rescue worth 40,000 U.S. dollars to the Committee for Emergency Situation (CES) of Tajikistan, the REACT News Bulletin, December 2-16 2009, reported.

The equipment will strengthen the CES search-and-rescue department and will be used for training of local disaster management teams in Zarafshon Valley and elsewhere in the country.
