Malaysian Red Crescent Society, Sarawak Branch
Emergency Response & Disaster Preparedness
The Emergency Response & Disaster Preparedness programme had
intense training for its volunteers in emergency response
mobilisation. Most MRCS Chapters had set up their Emergency
Response Teams with their respective command structures.
Standard Operating Procedures to respond to emergency are
also developed to ensure effective and efficient co-ordination,
rapid mobilisation and deployment of manpower and resources
to assist the relevant authorities, in the care and management
of disaster victims. Our primary functions are focused on:-
- providing assistance to the Welfare Department in the setting up and administration of relief centres;
- Mass cooking and feeding
- distribution of relief supplies including blankets and clothings
- assist in the registration of victims and provide tracing services
- providing first aid and nursing care at relief centres
