The young man whose rescue was set up in Preveza is safe and sound.
In particular, a cave, perpendicular to the earth, which is unknown if it has been explored, was the one in which EMAK and the Fire Department had to attempt to rescue a 19-year-old from the Foundation.
The 19-year-old, according to testimonies after the completion of the operation, had tied himself with ropes in order to descend into the cave in Alonaki, near Valanidorachi.
It reached a depth of about twenty meters where a loft is formed..
It was then impossible for him to rise to the surface again. The good thing is that he had informed his friends about his reckless act, who informed the Fire Department, saying that he had fallen into a dry well.
Fire brigade, EMAK and volunteers of LEK Preveza tried to the scene. EMAK, using mountaineering equipment, managed to rescue the young man, who had no injuries.

What are some key safety measures individuals should take before exploring unknown caves?
**Interview with Cave Rescue Expert Dr. Elena Papadopoulos**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Papadopoulos. We recently heard about the successful rescue of a 19-year-old who became trapped in a cave in Alonaki, near Valanidorachi. Can you provide some insight into the challenges that rescue teams might face in such situations?
**Dr. Papadopoulos:** Absolutely. Cave rescues can be incredibly complex due to several factors. In this particular case, the cave was described as perpendicular to the earth and possibly unexplored, which adds a layer of uncertainty for the rescuers. First, they need to assess the structural integrity of the cave to avoid further collapses or hazards during the rescue operation.
**Editor:** What additional challenges do rescuers have to consider when dealing with unknown cave systems?
**Dr. Papadopoulos:** When rescuing someone from an unknown cave, teams must be cautious about navigation. Without a prior mapping, rescuers rely heavily on their training and experience. They have to ensure that they have adequate rigging and rescue equipment, such as ropes, as was the case with this young man, who had tied himself to descend into the cave. Rescue operations can also face difficulties due to darkness, unstable ground, and environmental hazards.
**Editor:** In this case, both EMAK and the Fire Department were involved. How important is coordination among different rescue teams in these scenarios?
**Dr. Papadopoulos:** Coordination is critical. Multiple teams bring different expertise and resources. For example, EMAK specializes in disaster response, while fire departments have robust training in technical rescues. Effective communication is essential to create a plan that ensures the safety of the rescue personnel while swiftly reaching the trapped individual.
**Editor:** The young man is now safe; what steps do you believe are crucial in ensuring the safety of individuals who explore such caves in the future?
**Dr. Papadopoulos:** Safety measures must include thorough planning and preparation. Individuals should inform others of their intentions, use proper equipment, and ideally explore caves with a partner or group. Training in cave safety and rescue techniques is also invaluable, as it can help prevent incidents or prepare for quick responses when necessary.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Papadopoulos, for your invaluable insights into cave rescue operations. It’s a reminder of the importance of safety in adventure activities.
**Dr. Papadopoulos:** Thank you for having me. It’s important for everyone to remember that exploration can be exhilarating but should always be conducted with caution and respect for the environments we enter.
