Trainer Manual

As part of the PFA-CE project, funded by the European Commission, this handbook was developed in order to enhance activities in disaster response through better coordinated involvement of spontaneous, unaffiliated volunteers (SUV).

This handbook is divided into two modules, which contain training concepts for team leaders (Module 1) as well as concepts for training of Spontaneous Volunteers, seeking to support and assist Societies when disaster occurs (Module 2).
