DISASTER
QUICK RESPONSE PROGRAM - Training of Volunteers
|
|
At
the DQRP training, a volunteer will know the.. |
|
Subsequent
to an emergency, volunteers will be called upon to… |
- serious consequences of disasters
such as strong earthquakes
- overview of earthquake engineering
- procedures for the rapid evaluation
and detailed evaluation of damage to buildings, bridges and structures
in disaster areas
- Geographic Information System (GIS)
that can provide visual information regarding the damage status
of buildings and structures in a disaster area within a few days
after a strong earthquake
- case studies of disasters including
the findings of studies conducted by PICE and ASEP
- planning, operation and coordination
during a disaster, as well as the organization of the NDCC and
its interface with the DQRP Disaster Quick Response Program (DQRP)
|

|
- recommend
measures for the evaluation of buildings and structures previously
identified as RESTRICTED or OFF-LIMITS during rapid evaluation in
emergency phase
- update data for Geographic Information
System (GIS) documents showing the damage status of buildings and
structures in disaster areas
- assist the international disaster
relief organizations in providing technical support to the National
Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) during the Post Emergency Phase
- recommend appropriate approaches,
methodologies and interventions for repair and reconstruction
- advise on other technical concerns
critical to reconstruction and rehabilitation operations that are
within the competence of the team assigned to a particular disaster
area
- prepare the Post Emergency Phase
report documenting the activities, findings and recommendations
|
| In
times of emergency, volunteers will be called upon to… |
|
|
-
assist in emergency
rescue operations, particularly in partial demolition of buildings
where people are entrapped
-
conduct rapid
evaluation of the resulting damage, structural integrity and
vulnerability of existing buildings and vital structures, especially
those with high density occupancy
-
identify geotechnical
hazards such as large settlements, lateral spreading or liquefaction
of soil beneath buildings and bridges that can severely damage
the structure
-
prepare data
for a Geographic Information System (GIS) showing
the damage status of buildings in the disaster area
-
assist in international
disaster relief organizations providing technical support to
the National Disaster Coordinating Council during the Emergency
Phase
-
prepare written
reports every twenty-four (24) hours or as often as necessary
to be submitted to the concerned government agency
