The Kansas Adjutant’s General’s Department will host three officials from the Republic of Armenia’s Ministry of Emergency Situations this week. During this visit, the delegation will be receiving briefings from Shawnee County Emergency Management and Kansas Division of Emergency Management regarding roles and responsibilities of emergency operations center because they are in the process of developing their own emergency operations center in Armenia.
Additionally, Armenia has adopted a U.S. model 911 communication system, so the delegation will tour the Shawnee County Emergency Communication Center (911) and Kansas City, Kan. Police 911 call centers on Wednesday, Sept 12, to gain a better understanding of how the system is used in Kansas.
Mariam Gevorgyan, head of International Relations Department; Hovhannes Khangeldyan, head of Crisis Management Center and Arsen Nersisyan, head of Information Support and Announcement Center will be visiting Kansas City, Topeka and Salina for several events. The visit is arranged through the State Partnership Program, a National Guard Bureau program that pairs developing nations with state National Guard organizations to foster mutually beneficial relationships, both military and civilian. Kansas has been partnered with Armenia since 2003 and has engaged in multiple exchanges by military and civilian agencies and organizations.
The delegation will also meet with personnel of the Kansas National Guard’s Joint Forces Headquarters to discuss various aspects of the National Guard’s emergency response capabilities and the Guard’s role in supporting civil authorities.
