Meet the people doing their best to save lives and support others.

@Lewisridge_Farm @NZRedCross Indeed. As you can see they needed saving! Actually, slightly different course because of Covid restrictions. Less dummy work and more discussion.

[Lee Cowan @leeckiwi]

Great day doing my Red Cross First Aid course in a covid-friendly way. Feel like I’ve learnt so much! Thank you @NZRedCross

So many islands to visit... 🌏

Volunteers from Marshall Islands #RedCross visiting the local markets with #covid19 + #Dengue awareness 📢

They give out soaps to encourage hand washing. Hand washing frequently is still the best practice against COVID19 and other illnesses 💦🙌

#COVID19 won't stop us from helping people in need! Relief supplies are on their way to @vanuaturedcross to support Pacific communities recovering from #TCHarold. Supplies include items like mosquito nets🦟, kitchen kits🍳, and tool kits🛠️ to help repair damaged homes.

Outbreaks of diseases following a cyclone like #TCHarold 🌀 like dengue, #malaria, diarrhea are unfortunately common 🦟

@vanuaturedcross works with Health Cluster to register people for blood test, health+ hygiene awareness 📢

#RedCross is committed to provide #Covid19 risk awareness to all remote communities 🏝️

With thousands of islands we use the most appropriate communication channels ensuring knowledge and participation😷

Sometimes #radio, but often it's a boat and megaphone📢

#EarthDay2020

It’s never been more important to focus on #resilience as our climate changes. @IFRCAsiaPacific is expecting more extreme weather, sea level rise and more ferocious cyclones 🌀 floods 🌊 and fires 🔥

When @Ifrc mobilizes volunteers locally no one is left behind🌏

[𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙡 𝙂𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙫 𝙇𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙯𝙚𝙣 💬 @cglorentzen]

While #TCHarold🌀 hammered Solomon Isl, Vanuatu, Fiji and Tonga #RedCross volunteers in other Pacific Societies continued to communicate #Civid19 awareness from school to school and door to door 👣

When @ifrc mobilizes dedicated volunteers locally, no one is left behind ⤵️

If you've lost everything, a "blanket" makes a whole world of difference.

Thanks to the @vanuaturedcross volunteers that are struggling these days to support the affected after #TCHarold 🌀 took their homes.

Due to #COVID19 Dr Obed is struggling with staff deployment in #Vanuatu smashed by #TCHarold🌀

"Each team has been seeing 200 patients in one day putting a lot of strain on the human resource here"

@vanuaturedcross assist thousands with family kits⛺️

With a trustful voice that reaches thousands, #RedCross volunteers takes enormous responsibility to share #Covid19 risk awareness:

"That is really where we play our part – when we mobilise all our volunteers throughout the #Pacific"

#TCHarold+#COVID19🆘

"On Pentecost where 2000 households have been impacted the #RedCross has 25 volunteers supporting gov. efforts. Normally after a storm this size more than 100 might be deployed"

Says Ms Finau comms officer for the @vanuaturedcross⬇️

Logistics is challenging in #TCHarold hit Vanuatu🇻🇺

#COVID19 makes normal shipping impossible, fuel shortages makes transport costly

@vanuaturedcross will cover a total of 5,000 damaged households and uses boats + cars (if possible)

Much transport is on foot 👣
