Volunteer Self- Assessment
This process allows volunteers to assess their capabilities and understand potential deployment expectations once in the field. As disaster response is a very fluid environment and no deployment mirrors the previous, it is important to understand one’s limitations which can affect the team’s performance and relief efforts. This self-evaluation is not to dishearten volunteers, but rather to help individuals clearly grasp the physical and psychological demands of working in a disaster zone.
