The government is planning to launch training programs to help people volunteering in disaster-hit areas acquire skills for supporting affected residents, including evacuees at shelters.
It will be the first time for the government to nurture such disaster volunteers. The programs are aimed at fostering personnel with a certain level of knowledge and experience needed for the management of shelters and other support activities for people afflicted by disasters, in order to improve their living environment and prevent deaths resulting from causes indirectly related to natural disasters.
