post-disaster environment:International Committee of Red Cross
One of the organizations that work in the post-disaster environment is the International Committee of Red Cross. The organization is mandated by the international community to be a guardian on the international humanitarian law and to operate across the world to offer assistance to people affected by calamities or violence. The organization offers physical rehabilitation to people who have had serious injuries caused by explosive weapons. It works in collaboration with World Health Organization to provide health emergencies. It runs programs to enhance physical therapy institutions that play a vital role in supporting the developments. Another post-disaster organization is the International non-governmental agencies, which work alongside volunteers to alleviate poverty in the developing nations (Twigg & Mosel, 2017, p. 40). It takes part in the recovery missions as well as teaching ways of disaster prevention and preparedness. One of such agencies is CARE, which is a humanitarian organization that works to fight poverty across the globe.
There is also the Handicap international, which operates in partnership with local organizations to raise awareness on the general public and the government on matters about landmine and disability. In that way, the organization acts to mobilize the civil society on how to respond to emergency situations. The Health Volunteers Overseas is another volunteer organization that is composed network of organizations, corporations, and healthcare professionals. The American Logistics Aid Network gets involved in the supply chain to facilitate the humanitarian efforts (Twigg & Mosel, 2017, p. 50). They equally present a primary point of contact for the logistics experts that are ready and willing to offer disaster relief support to the US. Through its web portal, this organization comes out as a clearing supply chain products and services, such as warehousing and transportation (Twigg & Mosel, 2017, p. 50). On the other hand, the American Red Cross is also a humanitarian organization spearheaded by volunteers and governed by its Congressional charter. It serves to provide relief to disaster survivors while at the same time enlightening people on ways of responding to and avoiding future disasters. There is also an organization known as Church of the Brethren Disaster Ministries, which serves to restore hope to the disaster victims. The organization also helps the victims to rebuild their damaged homes as well as offering children disaster services to address the needs of children in the largely affected areas and ensuring that children are safe.
A good number of countries have national disaster management plan that are aligned to most occurring disasters as well as the types of resources available to take care of the disaster. Government supported aid programs conduct coordination of national responses to disasters in the respective countries. The agencies may also operate development projects that support nations in the recovery missions. National Voluntary Organizations helps organizations to share knowledge in the entire disaster cycle and in the process help survivors as well as the communities where they come from. The agencies form part of nonprofit organizations that actively take part in the recovery missions (Twigg & Mosel, 2017, p. 56). The organizations were mainly formed to respond to challenges that organizations experience. Prior to the foundation of National Voluntary Organizations, there existed numerous organizations that addressed the needs of disaster victims. The organizations were composed of both private and governmental agencies.
The existence of such organizations made aids to reach the victims within a short time since the organizations assisted the individuals affected in a number of ways. There only problem is that there was unsatisfactory training for the volunteers hence making it a bit difficult to address the disasters in a professional manner. In addition, the information available for disaster victims during the disasters were equally inadequate, while the communication and coordination among volunteers was poor.
