Слайд 10

Emergency Communication Tree

Слайд 11

Wardens
They are PC Volunteers, trained at warden trainings twice a

year on how to help when needed.
Their main role is to be contact people in times of emergency between PC office and PC Volunteers in their area.
The wardens living sites and mostly their housing (if not designated otherwise, e.g. local school) are consolidation points for “their PCVs.”
Usually there are 2 wardens per geographical region.
There are 50 wardens right now in PC/Ukraine.
Wardens are appointed by Safety & Security Manager in consultations with their Regional Managers, and they are chosen among those PCVs who expressed their desire to become a warden.

Слайд 12

Stages of EAP: 1. ALERT
Via the Emergency Communication Tree Volunteers are announced

about the EAP initiation, stage 1. They are instructed to maintain vigilance and monitor media sources. Volunteers must keep in regular contact with PC wardens/other Volunteers, and/or PC/Ukraine staff.
Volunteers should stay in their communities, do their usual routine, maintain vigilance, and monitor media sources.

Слайд 13

2. STANDFAST
Volunteers are instructed to remain at their site (or

if not at site –upon instructions) and await further directives. Unless otherwise instructed, Volunteers may continue with daily routines and work. They should begin preparations for possible Consolidation.
Volunteers should prepare their emergency kits, have their emergency money ready, inventory all important personal and Peace Corps property that may have to be left behind, continue with their daily work (unless instructed otherwise), prepare for possible consolidation.

Слайд 14

Emergency Kit

Слайд 15

3. CONSOLIDATION
Volunteers are instructed to move to their specified consolidation points

in the most direct and safe manner. In certain circumstances, the PCVs may be instructed to go to other consolidation point which is in compliance with the Peace Corps situation plan for this particular emergency.
Volunteers should settle their outstanding debts, pack the emergency kit, & go to the designated consolidation point (they must know where their consolidation point is and who their warden is).

Слайд 16

4. EVACUATION
Volunteers will be instructed to move to a specified location

for transport/evacuation. If transportation is being provided, Volunteers will be instructed when and where to meet the transport. If transportation will not be provided, Volunteers will move to the specified location by the most direct and safe means available.
DO NOT CROSS INTERNATIONAL BORDERS WITHOUT SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FROM PEACE CORPS STAFF!

Слайд 17

5. ALL CLEAR
Volunteers will be instructed to move back to their

sites and business may return to normal.
Volunteers should come back to their normal routine at their sites.

Слайд 18

Quiz
Are Trainees included into EAP?
Who is your warden at PST?
When

may you proceed to the next stage of EAP?
Where is your consolidation point?
Why is it important to always inform your LCF/TCF about your whereabouts, especially when going out of the community at weekends?

Слайд 19

II. Site Contact Form

Слайд 20

Please, download the SCF now from your LCF’s resource flash drive.
Also

please, download the Adobe Reader from the same flash drive or from the Internet (for free) at: http://get.adobe.com/reader/
PLEASE, READ THE GUIDE CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING TO FILL OUT THE FORM!
LET’S DO IT NOW!

Слайд 21

Filling out the SCF…
These tips will help you to avoid mistakes.
The

form should be filled out IN ENGLISH ONLY! Please, transliterate the Ukrainian proper names.
Remember: it is your (VOLUNTEER’S) RESPONSIBILITY to update and submit it to the named people as soon as any changes occur.
All phone numbers should consist of 10 digits. The recommended formats:
Landline numbers: (area cod)NUMBER without any space, dashes, etc. Example (0535)552221.
For the cell phones: provider-NUMBER. Example: 050- 9089151

Слайд 22

Finding your GPS coordinates
1) Go to http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html

Слайд 23

2) Enter your address into the bar at the top of

the page.

3) You’ll see a
satellite map of
your town and
(hopefully) your
apartment or house.

Слайд 24

4) Sometimes the location shown on the map is not your

address, but it will typically be close. Just click and drag the icon to the correct location.

Incorrect address!

Actual address

Problem solved!

NOTE: This stage is important, because even a thousandth decimal difference on the GPS coordinate system will indicate a totally different place.

Слайд 25

5) After you have the marker as close to your address

as possible, copy your Latitude and Longitude coordinates from the boxes below the map.

Слайд 26

Filling out the SCF…
A. Positions of the police contact person:
1. Chief

of District Police (начальник райвідділу)
2. Deputy Chief (заступник з громадської безпеки)
3. Beat Officer (дільничний інспектор)
B. Site Direction: please explain how PC staff unfamiliar with your area may find your location. Start at the entrance of the city from Kiev direction.
Use approximate distance ( in metric format) from one visible landmark to another.
Example: As you reach the road sign “Poltava” proceed 2 km until you see a monument. Before the monument turn right and continue for about 1.5 km. Then you see a church with yellow dome. The building across th street is where I live….
Remember: it is your (VOLUNTEER’S) RESPONSIBILITY to update and submit it to the named people as soon as any changes occur.

Слайд 27

At PST, let’s agree that some people from training will play

roles of some people at your future site.

Summing up
Let us now look at the SCF and see what

information we have. Why we need this?
Where can you possibly find the information required, and whose help you might want?
How should it be filled out?
What computer programs can be used for drawing your community map?
Why is it important for Peace Corps to have your SCFs?

Слайд 33

Specialists, Regional Managers, Safety & Security Manager).
All housing must meet basic safety requirements and provide Volunteers with necessary minimum of supplies.
