Disaster response challenge

The disaster response challenge is a unique two-day event exclusive to the British Red Cross. It provides an opportunity for participants to experience first-hand the issues and decisions faced by the British Red Cross emergency response unit (ERU) – something that only a handful of people get to experience in a lifetime.Girl amid ruins

Built around a hypothetical disaster that unfolds in real time, this challenge tests the calmest and most practical of you as you develop your own ‘disaster response plan’. You will be taken out of your comfort zone, into an environment where in real life your decisions would be a matter of life and death.

The challenge is run by British Red Cross staff including experienced members of the ERU, and experts in disaster-response logistics. Areas covered include logistics, communications, first aid, casualty evacuation and delegate security.
