The British Red Cross charity is organising another Disaster Response Challenge, where people from across the country will take part in a hypothetical disaster that unfolds in real time to test calmness under pressure. The 2 day event will offer the unique opportunity to experience first hand the issues and decisions faced by the British Red Cross international emergency response unit (ERU).
The ERU’s role is to respond to any humanitarian disaster, anywhere in the world, at really short short notice. This challenge will show the competitors what it’s like to be in the immediate aftermath of a major disaster scene. The experience is organised by delegates with years of experience on the front line, something only a handful of people will get to see in a lifetime.
This event will take part on the weekend of 26-28th March 2010 with a registration fee of £50.If you would like to find out more about this event or are interested in working in this field, simply click on the link below for further information.
