the victims of natural disasters

MORE ABOUT THE WORK OF VSF;
Establishing teams of relief-ready
volunteers in disaster prone places is a new departure
for us, one which we are piloting in Peru, where we already
have a national presence helping abandoned and at risk
people.
We are also taking steps to implement VSF in other countries
where we work and in places where we have friends, colleagues
and cooperating NGOs.
With Search & Recovery / Relief Coordination
specialists working as a first response team we hope to
be able to save many more lives than would normally be
expected
Our work is always in cooperation with,
support of and coordinated with Governments and recognised
international relief response NGOs and bodies. We plan
to be there first & have procedures in place when
others arrive..

the local projects of this NGO.
We already have volunteers on the ground.
They are busy helping some of the best local NGOs. And
should an event occur on their watch which requires rescue/relief,
they are ready to spring into action. For we are all part
of a team of helpers, medics, search & rescue, logiitics,
crisis management. brWORK
