RedR Australia
Ahead of a crisis RedR Australia trains people interested in assisting after major disasters. Qualified and experienced personnel are prepared for some of the challenges they may face in the field.
When disaster strikes RedR Australia is on permanent standby. UN relief agencies and NGOs request people with particular skills and RedR Australia nominates personnel from our Standby Register.
Where? Right now Standby Register members are assisting humanitatian operations in Pakistan in response to the flooding, Kyrgyzstan, Haiti, Afghanistan, occupied Palestinian territory, Yemen and the Philippines.
RedR Australia relieves suffering in disasters by:
maintaining a Register of highly skilled personnel for United Nations agencies and other aid agencies to call on short term emergency and disaster relief work
providing humanitarian training to professionals and technical experts who wish to participate in emergency humanitarian work and aid workers wishing to enhance their skills.
