Emergency Response Training

Vanuatu Red Cross prepares provincial branches for disaster response

According to Vanuatu Red Cross Society, Disaster Management Coordinator, Augustin Garae, the objectives of the training are to build their human resource preparedness and response capacities to undertake and manage the basic requirements of the Red Cross’ response in times of disaster or emergency within their local communities.

However, in large-scale disasters where there is no Red Cross branch presence, they may be dispatched to respond outside of their own communities.
