Disaster Response Team?

[5 shires]

Just wondering if the Disaster Response Team which was set up on here a few years ago as have’t herd anything of them for a long time as are they still operating in Europe and around Disaster Zones And has the pandemic shut them down? As the reason I asked is I was watching the terrible flooding occurring in France at the moment and noticed a bunch of guys there with chainsaws and just wonders if it was the Disaster Team or just Local guys?it looks terrible and my heart goes out to the families who have been affected and have lost family members,relatives and friends it looks really bad.

Was talking to Andy about it today - It’s definitely still on, just difficult with everything else that’s going on at the moment!

Hello,
As a charity we are still operationally ready thanks to our sponsors at Stein, Makita and others.
However with Covid it is very difficult to put people into countries where potentially we could be bringing in a disease or our volunteers contracting it.
We have to take each natural disaster that occurs and justify a deployment on its individual situation. So far we have been unable to risk out Covid.
Hopefully the situation improves.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer the please see the website and register.
Hopefully we will be able to hold a training weekend next year.
Cheers
