DART by GAiN

The first people to go to a place affected by a disaster is the Disaster Assistance and Response Team (DART). You can be part of that team.

More and more disasters are occurring worldwide. Every day, we are confronted with devastating news on television, which often lead to a feeling of helplessness.

In order to enhance the efforts of GAiN to meet the needs of people affected by those types of emergencies, the concept of a Disaster Assistance and Response Team (DART) has been developed. It is supposed to complement the regular work of GAiN by providing quick and flexible professional help with trained volunteers in disaster areas.

It is very important to have individuals who are trained to handle the specific problems present in this type of situation, and to know exactly, how to react in case of a disaster. Depending on the disaster circumstances, GAiN will put together case by case an international team of staff and volunteers with various skills. All kinds of people are needed – YOU are needed!

If you want to help in preparing the team and providing the materials needed for its work, please, don’t hesitate to do so. Your help will save lives and bring comfort to others!
Next training: September 15-23, 2012 in Latvia.
