Disaster Response Challenge:
Could you be first on the scene and give hope?…
Sign up online at www.redcross.org.uk/disasterchallenge
How would you cope in a tense and rapidly evolving situation?
Built around a hypothetical disaster that unfolds in real time over a two-day period, this is a challenge that will test the calmest, most practical of you. You will be taken out of your comfort zone and into an environment where the decisions you and your teammates make would quite literally be a matter of life and death in real life…
The role of the Red Cross Emergency Response Unit (ERU) is to respond as quickly as possible to a humanitarian disaster whenever and wherever in the world it may occur, offering practical help and hope to people in crisis.
The Disaster Response Challenge provides a unique opportunity for you to experience first hand the issues and decisions faced by the Red Cross ERU in a disaster situation – something that only a handful of people get to experience in a lifetime.
The Disaster Challenge is run by members of the British Red Cross ERU, experts in Disaster Response logistics and experienced professional trainers specialising in personal development and team building.
Past Participant Testimonials
‘One of the reasons I participated in the event was to find out a little more about potential career opportunities in this area and whether it would be something I’d be interested in. Stories from Red Cross delegates over the weekend confirmed it is something I want to pursue and I’ve now enrolled on an MA in logistics’. Claire, August 2004
‘I’ve worked in warehouse logistics for over 20 years and had no idea that I could use these skills to help the Red Cross in a disaster situation. Since taking part in the Disaster Response Challenge I have applied to join the ERU as a Warehouse Logistics Delegate and I can’t thank you enough for showing me this opportunity’ Dave, September 2007
‘It gives an inspiring insight into the work that the Red Cross does in the aftermath of massive disasters and continue to do long after the cameras have gone’ Katrina ,September 2006
