자발적 자원봉사자

이웃들이 응급 상황 및 재해 상황에 대비 했다면 생명을 구하고 상해 및 외상의 심각성을 줄이며 재산 피해를 줄입니다. 훈련을받지 않은 이웃들이 도움을 주려고 할때 어떻게 대처할 수 있습니까?

When disaster – natural or man-made – strikes a community, specific emergency management and nonprofit organizations automatically respond according to a pre-established plan. Each of these designated organizations has a specific role to play in ensuring an effective response to and recovery from the disaster’s devastation. Yet one element within the present system continues to pose a challenge: spontaneous, unaffiliated volunteers.

Spontaneous, unaffiliated volunteers – our neighbors and ordinary citizens – often arrive on-site at a disaster ready to help. Yet because they are not associated with any part of the existing emergency management response system, their offers of help are often underutilized and even problematic to professional responders. The paradox is clear: people’s willingness to volunteer versus the system’s capacity to utilize them effectively.
