Emergency Response Team Member (Volunteer)

When the need is high, you know how to keep calm

If a disaster or crisis occurs, you, as a member of the Emergency Response Team, are ready to provide assistance to those affected, together with the ambulance staff and other medical professionals. Together with your Emergency Response Team members, you ensure that the care location is set up, that minor injuries are taken care of and that first aid is performed. This frees up the ambulance staff to take care of seriously injured patients. In this way, everyone involved quickly receives the right help.
