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 key lessons about cave safety and preparedness emerged from the recent rescue operation in Preveza?
**Interview with Rescue Coordinator on the Recent Cave Rescue in Preveza**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today. We just received news that a 19-year-old was successfully rescued from a cave in Alonaki, near Valanidorachi. Can you tell us more about the situation?
**Coordinator:** Absolutely, and thank you for having me. The young man, who is safe and sound now, was in a precarious situation. He had descended into the cave using ropes, which unfortunately led him to become stranded. Fortunately, EMAK (the Greek Special Disaster Response Unit) and the local fire department were able to coordinate a rescue operation.
**Editor:** What challenges did the rescue team face during the operation?
**Coordinator:** Given that the cave is perpendicular and largely unexplored, there were significant risks involved. The structure of the cave itself posed challenges, as did the need to ensure the young man’s safety while retrieving him. We had to carefully navigate the cave’s depths, all while ensuring that we didn’t put ourselves in danger.
**Editor:** Were there any specific preparations made before launching the rescue?
**Coordinator:** Yes, prior to the operation, we gathered all available intelligence about the cave’s topography. We used specialized equipment, and our team consists of trained professionals skilled in vertical rescue operations. Coordination was key, and we had to act quickly but carefully to ensure the young man’s safety.
**Editor:** It’s relieving to hear that he is safe. How does this incident shed light on cave exploration safety?
**Coordinator:** This rescue highlights the importance of safety measures when venturing into caves, especially unexplored ones. We encourage anyone considering such explorations to go prepared, possibly with a team, and to let someone know their plans. Safety equipment and knowledge of the cave’s features are crucial.
**Editor:** Thank you for the insights and the great work your team did in this operation. Is there anything else you’d like to share?
**Coordinator:** Just a reminder to everyone—adventure is great, but safety should always come first. We’re thankful for the successful outcome of this operation, and we urge anyone near caves to proceed with caution.
**Editor:** Thank you again for today’s conversation. Stay safe out there!
