IFRC rapid response mechanisms and tools for disasters and crises (part 1): the Surge mechanism
|
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) acts before, during, and after disasters and health emergencies to meet needs and improve the lives of vulnerable people. The IFRC is made up of a secretariat and 191 National Societies, bringing together over 16 million volunteers worldwide. Thanks to this network, National Society volunteers are often the first on the scene when disaster strikes.
|
The IFRC secretariat's mandate is to support National Societies in the event of a disaster in their country. To this end, the IFRC has categorized crises into three levels, depending on their severity, and has developed mechanisms and tools adapted to any disaster that would occur within their borders. Among these tools, the Surge mechanism, part of a broader response system, allows for the deployment of trained human resources on specific topics, with or without equipment, to support the National Society. Depending on the needs of the National Society, Surge members are deployed based on their skills and availability, contributing to build the capacity of local volunteers and employees in response to a crisis.
