On the instructions of the Head of State, a large-scale modernization of the technical base of the Ministry of Emergency Situations is being carried out.

  The leadership of the Ministry of Emergency Situations adheres to the direction of sustainable development of material and technical support to increase the efficiency of the work of territorial units. The fleet of the Ministry of Emergency Situations is being actively replenished with special equipment to save lives, respond to emergency situations and eliminate them.

  The Ministry of Emergency Situations is working on the purchase of modern models of world brands of rescue equipment for the needs of territorial units. The development of the material and technical base demonstrates the priority of state policy in the field of ensuring public safety and minimizing the consequences of emergency situations.

  This year, more than 700 fire and rescue equipment, 4 aircraft, and about 19,000 pieces of equipment (at the expense of the republican and local budgets) were purchased for the departments of the ministry.

  A pilot project to improve the uniforms of rescuers was launched in Kostanay region, which has shown exceptional results in everyday and service use.

  Based on the completed construction of a new unique fire station of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, a unified style for the design of fire stations was developed in Astana. In order to ensure the safe operation of fire department buildings, as well as to improve the working conditions of personnel, major and current repairs are being carried out in fire stations and dormitories in all regions of the country. In addition, in accordance with the draft projects, the appearance of fire departments is brought to a single color scheme.

  Territorial bodies will be gradually equipped with unmanned aircraft, which will allow them to determine the extent of the disaster during large fires, as well as provide significant assistance in search and rescue operations on the ground.

  In order to ensure readiness for firefighting, fire departments will be equipped with modern equipment and equipment, including innovative solutions. In general, the ministry pursues a policy of equipping fire departments only with high-quality equipment, tools and equipment of the latest generation, including multifunctional and unified types. Fire departments will be greatly assisted by tank trucks, which will allow them to solve the tasks of extinguishing fires in multi-storey buildings.

  For example, the fleet of the territorial departments of the Ministry of Emergency Situations was replenished this year with such types of fire equipment as the AT-5-40 fire tanker based on the KAMAZ, the AT-3-40 fire tanker based on the KAMAZ, the AL-32 fire truck based on the KAMAZ, the 55-meter fire truck with an attachment "MAGIRUS", an emergency rescue vehicle on the "Toyota Hilux" chassis, emergency cars on the "Skoda Kodiaq" chassis, and a tanker based on the "Hyundai Pavise".

  In addition, emergency and rescue equipment such as the six-wheeled Trackol-39294 ground vehicle, the four-wheeled Baikal ground vehicle, the modern Marlin 830 boat, emergency and rescue and canine vehicles based on the Toyota Hilux, the Frontier 1000 snowmobiles, and the DJI matrix 350 unmanned aerial vehicles were purchased for the emergency services.

  Modern multifunctional helicopters Mi-8 AMT and Airbus Helicopters H-145 were purchased for the aviation of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, which are designed to solve a wide range of tasks: transporting passengers and cargo, transporting oversized cargo with external suspension, conducting search and rescue operations, and evacuating victims.

  The fleet of military units of the Ministry of Emergency Situations has been updated with the modern "Alan-2" complex, a vehicle for radiological-chemical-biological reconnaissance. The complex is designed for effective reconnaissance and control of radiological, chemical and biological threats. "Alan-2" significantly expands the capabilities of the units in the field of identifying and eliminating potential dangerous factors, increasing the safety and speed of operations of the Ministry of Emergency Situations forces and means. Today, "Alan-2" is a technique that meets modern world requirements and has no analogues in the CIS countries.

  Updating the fleet and equipping it with modern equipment will improve the work of rescue services, ensuring a more rapid response to natural disasters, man-made incidents and other emergencies.

  These measures are aimed at increasing the safety of citizens, as well as improving the working conditions of emergency workers. This is an important step towards increasing preparedness for various emergencies and a new opportunity to respond effectively.
