Communities Emergency Response Teams
World.HOPE.Spreaders program educates volunteers about disaster preparedness for the hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. WHS offers a consistent, nationwide approach to volunteer training and organization that professional responders can rely on during disaster situations, allowing them to focus on more complex tasks.
READY
In vulnerable regions, we pre-position emergency medical supplies, help communities reduce risk and prepare for disaster while training health care providers.
RESPOND
In the first hours, our emergency team sets in motion a disaster relief operation uniquely suited for the crisis and conditions on the ground.
RECOVER
We stay in country for months and years, rebuilding hospitals and clinics and addressing targeted health needs of the community and restoring health care access.
