•While natural hazards cannot be prevented, they only become disasters because affected communities are vulnerable and unprepared. Early warning systems have been proved beyond doubt to save lives and reduce economic losses at all levels, but they are still not an integral part of disaster management and risk reduction globally. Nor is early action an effective and timely response to early warning, across different timescales.

• So there can be strong and purposeful delivery of primary health care to all people in need, especially the poorest of the poor, the people most vulnerable.

•Setting up road safety programmes “In many of these programmes, the role of Red Cross volunteers has been vital in public education campaigns about road safety, first aid courses for the general public and teaching children proper road behaviour in schools...

• “Because they work at the community level, they have a privileged contact with people, which is very effective in getting preventive messages across.”
