The Civil Defense and Ambulance Authority (CDAA), represented by a force from the National Search and Rescue Team, is also participating in the operations of the international search and rescue teams in southern Turkey as a result of the earthquake, as it left today via the Royal Omani Air Force.

Since the Turkish authorities announced the earthquake, the Civil Defense and Ambulance Authority (CDAA) has communicated with the International Search and Rescue Advisory Board of the United Nations Office (INSARAG) and confirmed that this force is in full readiness to participate in search and rescue efforts.
