Fazaa Swaed Team for Crises and Disasters
Trained volunteers who stand ready with the authorities in emergencies, with a field record since the 2020 pandemic.
Purpose
The team prepares the association's volunteers to support the competent authorities in emergencies, crises and disasters: awareness, first aid, logistics and relief. Its roots are the statute objective on training young people to face crises and disasters; the board approved its launch on 15 January 2025 and the team trains with the National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority (NCEMA), Fujairah Civil Defence and Fujairah Police. Before it had a name, the same volunteers worked the COVID-19 prevention campaigns of 2020, the Fujairah flood relief of August 2022 and the "Tarahum for Gaza" packing of October 2023.
Structure
Supervised by the board of directors under the association's internal regulations, with a representative of the General Assembly. Volunteers join by activity and training session; the 2025 grant form reports 245 registered volunteers.
