Video: MapAction mappers support INSARAG training exercise in the Philippines
Last month, three MapAction members participated in an earthquake simulation training exercise in the Philippines. The event was organised by the International Search and Rescue Advisory Group (INSARAG), a global network of more than 80 countries and organisations under the United Nations umbrella.
