But during very terrible disasters and wars, thousands of people die in a few hours because they have never been made aware by conducting trainings and exercises on disaster management, first aid safety. They said that it is very important and useful in the future to train the youth, citizens and employees by forming relief teams in every institution, colony, factory and city and village to save the victims and to save them.
