The Importance of Utilizing Trained Volunteer Emergency Services

Thesis Statement

The utilization of trained volunteer in Emergency Services in the event of localized disaster is very importance.

Introduction

Utilization of trained young volunteers helps in prevention and timely emergency response. In order to prevent and educate the public, trained volunteers are very much important as there used to be no chance in emergency cases and any mistake can leads to severe injury or even death. Pre-selection of the volunteers should be focused on trained volunteers in emergency prevention and in order to act effectively, together with authorities and control bodies, upon the occurrence of an emergency situation (Walmsley, 2005).

Target

The objective of emergency volunteering services is to manage and protect the situation of emergency in order to prevent injury or big incident. Trained emergency personnel prepare emergency room for the scenarios that might occur during response to an episode of hazardous materials.
