5. Abstract/ Justification:

In simple terms, volunteering refers to any activity in which time is given freely to benefit another
person, group or organization.

Despite highly specialized and capable emergency management systems, ordinary citizens are
usually first on the scene in an emergency or disaster, and remain long after official services
have ceased. Citizens often play vital roles in helping those affected to respond and recover, and
can provide invaluable assistance to official agencies. However, in most developing countries,
emergency and disaster management relies largely on a workforce of professionals and, to
varying degrees, volunteers affiliated with official agencies.

We will form a volunteers task developed in all the districts of Khyber PaukhtunKhwa. Their
database will be maintained in Secretariat from where they will be on one call in case of any
disaster and emergency situations. These task forces will be from different educational and
social backgrounds which will use their expertise to overcome the situation.
