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.

**Interview with Local Rescue Coordinator about Recent Cave Rescue in Preveza**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today. Can you start by giving us an overview of the recent rescue operation in Preveza involving the 19-year-old?
**Coordinator:** Of course! Recently, our team was alerted about a young man who had descended into a cave in Alonaki near Valanidorachi. The cave is quite steep and has not been fully explored, which added an extra layer of difficulty to the rescue operation.
**Interviewer:** How did the rescue operation unfold?
**Coordinator:** The young man had tied himself with ropes to navigate down into the cave. When we arrived, we immediately assessed the situation. Our teams from EMAK, which is Greece’s special disaster response team, along with the Fire Department, worked collaboratively to reach him safely. Thanks to their efforts, the 19-year-old is now safe and sound.
**Interviewer:** What were the main challenges you faced during the rescue?
**Coordinator:** The biggest challenge was the unknown terrain of the cave. Since it hasn’t been explored much, we had to be cautious about every step we took. Additionally, ensuring the safety of the young man while also protecting our rescuers was a top priority. Ropes and safety gear were crucial in managing the descent and the retrieval.
**Interviewer:** Did the young man provide any insight into what led him to explore this cave?
**Coordinator:** Yes, he mentioned a fascination with underground exploration. However, he underestimated the risks involved and did not fully plan for the potential hazards. This incident serves as a reminder about the importance of being prepared for such ventures.
**Interviewer:** What advice would you give to others considering similar activities?
