We are streamlining the process of evacuation from frontline communities: Yulia Svyrydenko
The Government is introducing a State Information System for coordinating the evacuation and provision of assistance to persons from temporarily occupied territories and frontline areas. This was announced by Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Svyrydenko.
“We are distributing responsibilities among those responsible for evacuation and creating opportunities to analyze the needs of evacuees. This will help to bring the services that people receive in transit centers and temporary accommodation as close as possible and improve them,” the Head of Government emphasized.
The components of the evacuation process are distributed as follows:
- Ministry for Communities and Territories Development through the Coordination Headquarters — overall coordination;
- Ministry of Social Policy — social support and reintegration in local communities;
- State Emergency Service — security, warning, and technical aspects of evacuation;
- Local administrations and local self-government bodies — evacuation measures on the ground: organization of gathering points, alerting, registration, transportation and accommodation of people, domestic support;
- National Social Service of Ukraine — coordination of the work of multidisciplinary teams, which include social workers, psychologists, lawyers, and doctors.
“People who are forced to leave their homes through the approach of active hostilities must receive quality care and support. We are working to create decent conditions for this,” emphasized Yulia Svyrydenko.
