ROLE OF FIRST AID TEAMS IN PROVISION OF CARE TO PERSONS AFFECTED BY NATURAL AND OTHER DISASTERS
Abstract
In the event of natural or other large-scale disasters, different civil protection and rescue units take numerous measures on the basis of interdisciplinary (co)operation in order to prevent or mitigate the adverse effects of disasters or reduce the number of victims. To this end, the Civil Protection and Red Cross First Aid teams may be activated. Their primary task is to give first aid to the injured and those suddenly affected by an illness, but they also help implement the basic measures of psychosocial care at the first level for those not injured but affected by a disaster. This has also been confirmed by the survey conducted within the framework of the 20th National First Aid Competition of Civil Protection and Red Cross First Aid teams in Koper in 2014.
