About the volunteering opportunity
In the event of disasters, war, or major accidents such as the flooding in the Ahr Valley, many people are forced to leave their homes or end up as victims in emergency shelters. Often, phone and internet services are no longer available, and people lose contact with one another. That’s when the missing persons centers spring into action. They register the injured and those affected by the disaster and accept search requests from family members. The information gathered is consolidated centrally so that people can gradually be reunited.

- Registration of Affected Persons, Injured Individuals, and Emergency Responders
