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 the key challenges faced by rescuers during cave rescue operations like the one in Alonaki?
**Interview with Rescue Operations Expert on Alonaki Cave Rescue**
**Interviewer:** Good afternoon, and welcome to our segment. Today, we’re discussing a recent rescue operation that took place in Alonaki, near Valanidorachi, where a 19-year-old was successfully rescued from a cave. Joining us is Dr. Sophia Martinez, an expert in rescue operations and inter-organizational communication. Dr. Martinez, thank you for being here.
**Dr. Martinez:** Thank you for having me. It’s a pleasure to be here.
**Interviewer:** To start, can you tell us about the challenges rescuers face in operations like the one in Preveza?
**Dr. Martinez:** Certainly. Rescues in cave systems present unique challenges. Firstly, the conditions in caves can be unpredictable—limited visibility, uneven terrain, and potential hazards like loose rock or water accumulation can complicate rescue attempts. In this case, the cave was described as unknown and perpendicular, suggesting that it might have been steep and more difficult to navigate [[1](https://www.inderscienceonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1504/IJEM.2021.118771)].
**Interviewer:** The young man reportedly tied himself with ropes to descend into the cave. What implications does this have for the rescue operation?
**Dr. Martinez:** His decision to tie himself with ropes indicates that he may have been attempting to descend safely or perhaps to explore the cave further. However, it could also pose a risk if the ropes weren’t secured properly or if he fell. It adds another layer of complexity for the responders, as they need to assess the situation carefully to avoid further injury during the rescue [[1](https://www.inderscienceonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1504/IJEM.2021.118771)].
**Interviewer:** How important is coordination between different organizations, like EMAK and the Fire Department, in a situation like this?
**Dr. Martinez:** Coordination is absolutely critical. Effective inter-organizational communication enables better situational awareness and ensures that resources are used efficiently. Each organization may have different expertise and resources, and when they work together, it increases the chances of a successful outcome. A centralized management approach is vital to avoid confusion and streamline the rescue process [[1](https://www.inderscienceonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1504/IJEM.2021.118771)].
**Interviewer:** What can be done to improve safety during such rescues?
**Dr. Martinez:** Training and preparation are key. Regular joint exercises among rescue teams can improve communication and operational efficiency. Additionally, having detailed surveys and maps of uncharted areas could help teams plan their approaches better. It’s also important for individuals to understand the risks of exploring unknown areas, particularly when using equipment like ropes [[1](https://www.inderscienceonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1504/IJEM.2021.118771)].
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Martinez, for your insights. It’s encouraging to know that the young man is safe and that these operations are backed by such dedicated professionals.
**Dr. Martinez:** Thank you for having me. It’s always a team effort, and anyone venturing into such environments should prioritize safety and preparation.
**Interviewer:** That’s a great note to end on. Thank you for tuning in!
