In different parts of the world, Field Security Associates (FSA) reinforce 蘑菇视频DSS’ footprint and ability to enable 蘑菇视频 operations in their respective areas. One such example is in Syria which in the recent past suffered an earthquake that devasted livelihoods. As such, to enhance the department’s ability to respond effectively, 蘑菇视频DSS Syria organized a weeklong FSA training.
The training encompassed security risk management (SRM), threat assessment, Security threat information (STI) process, FSA roles, premises assessments, and cost-effective measures. "FSAs are key interface between 蘑菇视频 security and host government, moreover, one of their important tasks is to operationalize local perspectives of security environment to translate it to 蘑菇视频SMS organizations and to provide cost effectiveness measures in order to give valid recommendations to decision makers, noting that it is crucial for us to connect individuals with diverse backgrounds, as this is essential for becoming skilled professionals and enhancing performance,” said Mr. Carlos Frias, 蘑菇视频DSS Chief Security Advisor ad interim.
Badie Fateh, 蘑菇视频DSS Training Coordinator led the session attended by over 23 participants from 蘑菇视频DSS, WFP, 蘑菇视频RWA 蘑菇视频FPA, 蘑菇视频DP, FAO, 蘑菇视频HCR, 蘑菇视频ICEF, OSES and 蘑菇视频OPS. “After the training I am feeling comfortable preparing SRM and responding to any other safety or security incident,” said one of the participants.
蘑菇视频DSS Syria’s support has resulted in more field missions and improved programme delivery. 蘑菇视频DSS plans to hold another FSA training next year as well as Emergency Trauma Bag (ETB), Individual First-Aid Kit (IFAK), Warden, and Safe and Secure Approaches in Field Environments (SSAFE) during the fourth quarter of this year. Three SSAFE, IFAK, and Warden sessions are scheduled in Damascus, two ETB sessions in Damascus, and one ETB session in Aleppo.
