RESCUE NET – Emergency protocols

INTRODUCTION – VIDEO 1 from PUZZLE

NEEDS ANALYSIS

The RESCUE NET Needs Analysis, involving 175 participants in Italy and Turkey, found that people with disabilities—especially Deaf individuals—face significant barriers during emergencies due to inaccessible communication, limited preparedness, and inadequate inclusion in emergency planning. At the same time, volunteers and civil protection professionals are highly motivated but often lack training, tools, and protocols to support people with disabilities effectively.

The study identified key priorities: accessible and multimodal communication, increased preparedness for people with disabilities, specialised training for volunteers, inclusive emergency protocols, and stronger cooperation between emergency services and disability organisations.

2. EMERGENCY PROTOCOLS

INTRODUCTION – VIDEO FROM PUZZLE ( GR) – Emergency risk

RESCUE NET developed inclusive emergency communication protocols, accessible training materials, sign language videos, and a digital learning platform. By promoting accessibility, collaboration, and active participation of Deaf communities, the project aims to strengthen inclusive emergency preparedness and create safer, more resilient emergency response systems for all.

3.EVALUATION

INTRODUCTION – VIDEO FROM PUZZLE – Evaluation

The evaluation of the training modules is a critical component of the RESCUE NET project, as it provides evidence of their effectiveness and informs future improvements. The evaluation framework is designed to assess both the learning outcomes achieved by participants and the overall quality of the training process.

Dear user, if you have watched the RESCUE NET training videos, we kindly ask you to complete this short questionnaire to evaluate their quality, usefulness, and educational impact.
