為響應國際防災並使國內民防接軌國際,壯闊台灣聯盟今(14)宣布結盟歐洲民防組織「國際撒瑪利亞人」,啟動長期性「台歐韌性交流」,串聯台、歐交流災害管理、志工協作與社會韌性等重要經驗。該組織歐盟總監魏登佳說,未來每月都有主題性志工訓練,以及國際師資培訓;吳怡農強調,志工應變能力及於戰爭在內的「全災害」,務實處理突發狀況。
壯闊台灣今(14)日在政大公企中心舉辦「台歐韌性交流」啟動儀式暨志工管理國際研討會,除聯盟創辦人吳怡農,內政部次長馬士元、消防署署長蕭煥章,以及歐盟經貿駐台辦事處處長谷力哲等人共襄盛舉。其中,吳怡農、國際撒瑪利亞人歐盟辦公室總監魏登佳(Paul Wardenga)儀式後接受媒體採訪。
魏登佳表示,作為跨國NGO聯盟,國際撒瑪利亞人成員來自21個歐洲國家的23個會員組織,擁有15萬志工與300萬會員,「跨組織」、「跨國界」協調經驗豐富;台、歐交流部分,除明年預劃的獨立「師資培訓」課程,另有涵蓋各種實務技能的志工基礎培訓,包含溺水與水上救援、淨水與衛生(Water, Sanitation, Hygiene - WASH),以及避難所設置與管理等。
交流活動頻率方面,吳怡農補充,台灣團隊平均每月都會舉辦一次訓練或演練活動(包含特定領域教學與跨組織協作推演),目的在於將防災溝通與默契「內化」為日常,避免僅流於每年921防災日等單一宣導活動。
被問及志工應變是否僅止於天災?吳怡農強調,民間應變秉持「全災害」(All-hazards)原則,因為民防處理的是災害發生後的「後果」(如設施中斷、傷患處置與物資發放),不論災害類型,基礎應變技能皆通用。
