5.5.3 VOLUNTEER MANAGEMENTThere are likely to be two types of volunteers; those from a specific organisation such as the Red Cross and theSalvation Army (organised volunteers) and those members of the general public who offer their services after thedisaster has occurred (spontaneous volunteers). The CDEM Group use the Red Cross and Salvation Armyvolunteers to undertake the welfare response function taking care of the operational arrangements of WelfareCentres. The CDEM Group does not co-ordinate spontaneous volunteers but refers them to other agencies withthe capability to co-ordinate their efforts.5.5.4 EVACUATIONThe evacuation process is:Phase 1: Decision: A choice is made whether to order an evacuation or advise people to ‘shelter-in-place’.Phase 2: Warning: Notifications to the public advising them of the situation and what action to take.Phase 3: Evacuation: This phase describes the actual physical evacuation of occupants from an area.Phase 4: Shelter: The registration process, accommodating evacuees, assessing and provision of welfare andrecovery requirements.Phase 5: Return: an assessment of the evacuated area, issuing an ‘all-clear’, coordinating the physical return ofevacuees and the continuation of recovery provisions.Refer to the Group Evacuation Plan EOP 10 for further details.5.5.5 WELFARE MANAGEMENTDuring the response phase, the following are typical activities that might be coordinated by the WAG:registration of evacuated and affected persons and provision of local inquiry serviceprovision of emergency clothing and beddingprovision of emergency catering or food provision to isolated personsidentification and provision of emergency accommodationimmediate personal support services including the identification of agencies with the capacity to put in placeservices that mitigate the effects of trauma on individuals and communitiesimmediate domestic animal caredonated goods managementidentification of locations for welfare/recovery centres and support for the operationliaise with all welfare service agencies and ensure their supporting needs are metmanage welfare by coordinating agenciesmonitoring welfare provision against arising needsidentifying gaps and supporting responding welfare agenciesRefer to the Group Welfare Plan EOP 4 for further details.5.5.6 PUBLIC INFORMATION MANAGEMENTThe appropriate management of public information and the media are critical elements in the response andrecovery phases of any event.
