Community rescue squads resume activities in Kozhikode’s landslide-prone areas
Community rescue squads in Kozhikode have resumed operations to prepare for the monsoon season and mitigate landslide risks. The initiative integrates local volunteers with official disaster management forces to improve emergency response times in vulnerable areas.
Why it matters
Community-led disaster preparedness is essential for climate resilience in ecologically sensitive regions prone to extreme weather.
Community rescue squads resumed their activities in several grama panchayats in the upland regions of Kozhikode district as part of efforts to mitigate the impact of rain-related calamities. The Community Rescue Volunteers (CRV) initiative, launched several years ago to strengthen the network of first responders during natural disasters, is now part of a district-wide system functioning under the coordination of various uniformed forces involved in disaster management.
