Besides that, we have also received disaster management equipment from the Directorate General of Social Protection and Security, we do not know how to use it. and what its function is, therefore we are collaborating with Tagana to provide basic disaster management training, said Sulaiman, Head of Medan "Insyaf" Center when giving directions.

"I hope that all participants can take this activity seriously, especially for the Civil Servants Team that has been appointed," he said.

Eka Darmayanto, the coordinator of North Sumatra Tagana, emphasized to the participants that being a member of Tagana must always appear enthusiastic because we are dealing with victims of natural disasters whose conditions may be very unstable due to loss of property and even family members.
