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 primary challenges that rescue teams face when conducting cave rescues in unexplored areas?
**Interview with Rescue Operations Expert on the Recent Cave Rescue in Preveza**
**Host:** Today, we’re joined by Dr. Elena Papadopoulos, a rescue operations expert, to discuss the recent successful rescue of a 19-year-old from a cave in Alonaki, Preveza. Thank you for joining us, Dr. Papadopoulos.
**Dr. Papadopoulos:** Thank you for having me.
**Host:** Can you give us an overview of the rescue operation that took place?
**Dr. Papadopoulos:** Certainly. The situation was quite complex. A 19-year-old was reported stuck in a cave that was possibly unexplored, which raised significant concerns regarding safety. The Emergency Response Team (EMAK) and the Fire Department coordinated their efforts to reach him. Effective communication and swift action were crucial here, given the unknown conditions of the cave.
**Host:** It was reported that the young man tied ropes to assist with his descent. What are the risks associated with such actions?
**Dr. Papadopoulos:** Tying oneself with ropes can be risky, especially in unknown environments like caves. While it’s a common practice for climbers and cavers to use ropes for safety, it can lead to entrapment if not executed properly. In this case, the young man’s decision to descend into the cave indicated a level of risk that could have been avoided with proper guidance and safety measures.
**Host:** What key takeaways does this operation provide for future rescue efforts?
**Dr. Papadopoulos:** This operation underscores the importance of thorough planning and risk assessment before attempting rescues. As noted in various successful rescue operations, leaders must coordinate with their teams effectively and ensure all safety protocols are followed. Moreover, enhancing public awareness about the dangers of exploring uncharted territories without adequate preparation is essential [[1](https://realworldrescue.com/rescue-operations-guide/)].
**Host:** With the young man safe now, what steps should he take moving forward?
**Dr. Papadopoulos:** It’s important for him to reflect on the experience and consider seeking educational resources on cave safety and exploration. Engagement in safety training or joining supervised caving groups could help prevent similar incidents in the future. Importantly, he should also speak with a professional counselor if he feels the need to process the emotional impact of such a traumatic experience.
**Host:** Thank you for your insights, Dr. Papadopoulos. It’s reassuring to know that the young man is safe and sound after such a harrowing experience.
**Dr. Papadopoulos:** Thank you for having me. It’s a great relief that he was rescued safely, and I hope this serves as a learning opportunity for others contemplating similar adventures.
**Host:** Thank you, everyone, for listening. Stay tuned for more updates on safety and rescue operations!
