More than 500 refugees are expected to be trained from the Hellenic Rescue Team (HRT) in First Aid and the basic principles of self-protection

With two volunteers, one from HRT Samos and one from HRT Headquarters, in Thessaloniki, HRT participated in this year’s International Maritime Rescue Federation (IMRF) Crew Exchange program.

An RS (Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue - Redningsselskapet) delegation visited between the 23rd and the 30th of September the HRT branches in Volos, Corfu and Irakleio.

For eighth consecutive year, Hellenic Rescue Team in cooperation with the Hellenic Air Force, conducted an aeronautical SAR training
