I would like to pass on this very important fact so that you can understand why there is a need for an organization such as the NDRT: In a major disaster situation, local, state and federal resources are going to be overwhelmed by the amount of devastation, injury, loss of life and property, and some of these losses will be within the very agencies and organizations designed to help you when a disaster strikes.
The National Disaster Response Team was created from a simple objective. To help people caught, and those first respnders trying to help those caught, in a disaster situation.
It is easy to want to help those in need, knowing how to help those in need effectively is a different story. Creating an organization to help in disasters is simple as well, but creating one that is designed to be effective, fast deployment and self sufficient for 3 days, well most people would say it is impossible. And for the most part they would be right, given the way the Government and a few well known organizations have been handling the past few disasters that have befallen our country and others around the world.
However, todays technological advantages for gathering information on disasters from the past to those accuring right now, and the ability to communicate with those who have survived disasters or worked at them, this type of thinking is no longer viable and that such an organization as mentioned above is now not only possible but very much needed in a chaotic world like today.
~Please note that The National Disaster Response Team would like to send out a special thank you to the people who contributed alot of valuable information via personal and professional experiences that helped in the creation process. These people have survived disasters and/or have been in disaster response for many years.~
Our research was not done lightly. We looked at all recorded disasters through time, we scrutinized the response of Government and organizations, we looked at logistics and how they where used with resources available and at just about every aspect of disaster response to disaster recovery we could possible cover, as well as create several scenerios of our own and work out the potential problems they presented.
So is it possible to have an a disaster response organization that is effective, Fast Response Capable, Self Sufficient for 72 hours, and handle at least 32,000 people? Well to answer that I would like to invite you to look at the following pages and decide for yourselves if it is possible.
We do not have all the answers, nor will we ever claim to have all the answers. But we will, and do, promise this: The National Disaster Response Team, will always strive to be prepared and give the best possible disaster response services available in any given disaster situation.
Welcome to the next step in Disaster Response
