Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>member team from the United States’ (US) North Dakota, including personnel from the state\u2019s Department of Emergency Services and members of the North Dakota National Guard, has completed a two-week training with their Ghanaian colleagues from the National Disaster Management Office (NADMO).<\/p>\n

The training focused on preparing for natural disasters, including earthquakes. Togo and Benin also sent representatives from their national civil protection agencies to observe the exercise, stressing the importance of regional responses to natural disasters.<\/p>\n

An official statement from the US Embassy in Accra and copied the Ghana News Agency identified two major active fault lines in Ghana, the Coastal Boundary Fault and Akwapim Fault zone intersect in the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur partnership with Ghana, through NADMO and Ghana Armed Forces, is strong, long-term, and benefits both our countries. I am proud to be here representing North Dakota, while deepening cooperation with our Ghanaian colleagues,\u201d said Major General Alan Dorhmann, who serves as Adjutant General of the North Dakota National Guard as well as Director of the North Dakota Department of Emergency Services.<\/p>\n

The exercise, known as Lignite Coast 2022 Operation Shikpon Wosomo, built the capacity of NADMO and its collaborating agencies to manage disasters and ensure prompt response to earthquakes and similar natural disasters in the future.<\/p>\n

The training included traditional classroom teaching and planning, as well as a full-scale simulation exercise to test local capabilities and identify areas for improvement.<\/p>\n

Ghanaian agencies including Ghana National Fire Service, Ghana Armed Forces (48 Engineers Regiment), National Ambulance Service, Ghana Police Service, National Communications Authority, Ghana Health Service, the Geological Survey Authority, and the Volta River Authority participated in the two-week event.<\/p>\n

The statement said the North Dakota National Guard and Ghanaian counterparts had been working together through the U.S. State Partnership Programme since 2004.<\/p>\n

The State Partnership Programme helps build collaborative relationships between individual U.S. states and partner countries in support of U.S. foreign policy goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe North Dakota National Guard\u2019s cooperation with the Ghana Armed Forces and NADMO is one part of the United States\u2019 robust security cooperation with Ghana.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough joint exercises like African Lion that is taking place now in Morocco and Ghana, U.S. and Ghanaian forces train together to be better prepared for the future. A joint training for U.S. and Ghanaian military medical professionals at the 37 Military Hospital in Accra also concludes.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdditionally, the programmes like the Security Forces Assistance Brigade team, which is currently working with Ghana Armed Forces colleagues in Tamale, also help share best practices, provide training, and build local capacity to respond to security threat,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n
