Fifth National Disaster Response Team (NDRT) Training | 5-9 August 2019 | Chonburi, Thailand
The Thai Red Cross Society (TRCS) has developed the criteria for disaster relief operation in the TRCS’s strategy plan. Three criteria were made for the third strategy by focusing on the quick turnaround and survival needs of the affected people. The three criteria are as follow: 1) Affected people should get the TRCS relief kit within 6 hours; 2) TRCS mobile emergency centres will provide services within 4 hours; and 3) affected people should receive TRCS food and water within 4 hours.
From the past until now, Relief and Community Health Bureau (RCHB) has identified the capacity building needs for staff and volunteers. RCHB carried out the Rapid Action Team training workshop and National Disaster Response Team (NDRT) training workshops for its staff, volunteers and staff from implementing partners such as Thailand’s Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) and volunteers from the Provincial Red Cross Chapters in order to help them perform effectively in the field.
This activity was made possible by the funding from the Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA).
