HOW TO BECOME AN INTERNATIONAL DISASTER VOLUNTE...

How to Become an International Disaster Volunteer discusses the immense value an experienced
water systems engineer  trauma surgeon  or communications specialist could bring to a disaster
stricken community  while also explaining how their professional educations do not prepare them
for the logistical  psychological  and physical demands of traveling to  and functioning in  an
international catastrophe with little water or electricity  limited sleep and food  a chaotic
working environment  and with team members from diverse backgrounds and with different
personalities. This book provides a step-by-step guide for the entire process  including
self-evaluating tactics  fitness measurements for volunteering  how to research disaster relief
organizations  how to gain appropriate training and applicable experiences  the best practices
during deployments  and the personal recovery process upon returning home. Each chapter focuses
on one aspect of the progression  but also includes case studies of disasters  profiles of
relief organizations  and checklists for each stage.
