A RANK Commissioning Ceremony for 27 national executive board members
of the Brunei Darussalam Red Crescent Society (BDRCS) will be held on
March 23, simultaneously with the launch of the Humanitarian Aid and
Disaster Relief Team (HADRT) squad.
HADRT is a special
squad established by BDRCS with the objective to centralise humanitarian
aid services and disaster management, in accordance to the disaster
management charter of the International Committee of the Red Cross.
The
squad comprise youths and volunteers who are ready to provide
disaster management and humanitarian services, especially in first aid
services and humanitarian work programmes. The squad hopes to provide
aid to government agencies, non-government organisations and the private
sector to collectively handle issues of disaster management and
humanitarian work.
The event will also feature the
handover of a sponsored INNOVA car from NBT Sdn Bhd to be used as a
“non-medical ambulance” for BDRCS’ use. This year RBDCS will celebrate
its 66th anniversary since its establishment.
