GEA, a Turkish NGO and partner of A-PAD, has published its 2025 activity report.

GEA 2025 Activity Report

 

In 2025, a wide range of activities were carried out, including search-and-rescue and emergency response, participation in INSARAG (International Search and Rescue Advisory Group) activities, training, awareness programs, and school workshops.

Projects undertaken in collaboration between A-PAD and GEA include the Myanmar earthquake response and the pandemic kit project.

 

The pandemic kit project involved holding planning workshops on how to respond quickly to future emergencies, and preparing pandemic kits for approximately 2,400 people.

 

The kits included supplies such as masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, first aid kits, flashlights, whistles, and other items. They are designed to support families for several days immediately following a disaster. Completed kits are stored at GEA’s logistics center, and a system is in place to ensure they can be distributed quickly to protect the health and safety of victims, both domestically and internationally.

 

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the signing of the partnership agreement between A-PAD and GEA. A-PAD will continue to leverage this collaborative framework to respond to disasters in various regions.
