The Disaster Preparedness and Response Team is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) established in Pakistan in November 2005 following the Pakistan Quake. However it was not registered as a voluntary agency until 2006.〔()〕 It is composed of civilian volunteers who give some of their time to train and in major emergencies act as volunteer disaster workers. The driving force behind DPART comes from the slow progress of the present Civil Defence in Pakistan and the lack of emphasis on community/citizen based emergency preparedness. ==History== In 2005, after the earthquake that struck Pakistan, work began on the DPART program. The goal of this new program was to better integrate and train community volunteers. DPART SAR was uniquely modelled using the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) as a template DPART was formed on similar principals. Since 2006, the program has been further developed to provide assistance at Mass Casualty Incidents and response to collapsed structures to eventually be supporting within the tape operations. DPART SAR first went operational in 2006 Since that date the agency has provided assistance to several government agencies throughout the twin cities. DPART SAR provides both generalized services and specialized services. In the case of specialized services DPART SAR provides the following; Collapsed Structures Search and Rescue,〔(Rescue1122 )〕 Mass Casualty Incident Support, white water rescue operations, traffic control assistance, as well as providing services to evacuation centres. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Disaster Preparedness and Response Team」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
