Today, voluntary assistants in the desire to benefit, especially in the fight against emergency situations, instead sometimes bring confusion on the general cause. To avoid this, delegates will prepare a bill to adjust the actions of volunteers in federal emergency conditions. Details have been recognized by “Gazeta National Assembly.”
Change the law
The incident of fuel oil spills in the Kerch strait, occurred on December 15, 2024 and became an emergency of the federal scale, showing the need for volunteer control of the State, certainly president of the State's Duma Committee on Youth Policy Artem Metalev. He said this on April 14 at a round table in the state of Duma dedicated to the formation of uniform approaches to the organization of volunteer activities to eliminate the consequences of emergency situations.
According to him, floods, fire, natural disasters and other environmental disasters occur every year. In 2024, volunteers helped to eliminate more than 20 different emergency cases in the federal and regional scale. The most unexpected and strongest thing, its consequences continued to eliminate, became an ecological disaster in the Kerch Strait. Tens of thousands of volunteers have organized and spontaneously, the deputy recalled to help with the disaster, Krasnodar territory and some other areas, deputy police recall. But later it often brings chaos to cleaning beaches and animals from fuel oil.
In emergency conditions, the coordination and coordination work of public services and related coordinators, civil society organizers are very important. – The situation in Anapa shows that this is not always the same. Of course, the work and contribution of volunteers are invaluable. Right from the first day, on the New Year holidays, volunteers helped remove fuel oil from the coast, remove sand, the birds have saved. “
This work has taken place for years and the interaction between the government and volunteers was established, but at first it was very difficult.
This has created great difficulties for those living there, both for volunteers and for the work of professional public services, according to Mr. Metelev. – In this regard, we want to propose to prepare a bill to adjust the conditions for the participation of volunteers in the federal emergency situation published. We believe that the coordination of all actions should be resolved at the federal level. Not by recommendations or parts. This must be a Government's decree, in which synchronizing the actions of law enforcement agencies, rescue and medical services against volunteers. When there is no urgency, the activities of volunteers are self -adjusting. When an emergency is announced, the State should ensure work coordination. “
Soul impulse managers
The main issue of this unbalanced member of the Social Policy Commission Igor Kastyukevich He called the absence of clear algorithms about the behavior, actions of volunteers and personal responsibility. He said that the National Assembly's newspaper, in his opinion, did not need any documents here, but some. People should describe the regulations for the work of state agencies with the volunteer community. This interaction should be divided into: emergency cases of both regional and federal scale, operating in the area of students.
Different parts have their own algorithms, but need to have, Senator explained.
Kastyukevich said that at one of the universities, they developed an additional educational program to prepare for management by volunteers in emergency areas.
How to deal with scammers
Managing and coordinating should pay attention and collect voluntary contributions, according to participants in the round table. Therefore, according to the Vice Chairman of the State Committee of the State on tourism and development of tourism infrastructure Natalia KostenkoFor this, you need to configure the general program to notify the volunteers and those who want to help. This can be done on the website of the regional government or the Dobr.RF. For each emergency, there is a need for an account and data on the number of receipts and the cost must be made public.
According to Kostenko, the delegates discussed the initiative that will describe the rules and create an account registration that will translate safely. Indeed, these proposals are designed for those who collect money for him, because there are cases where account blocking and deceit. Now they want to add more information on collecting money in an emergency, so that people can collect money for cards with a number of registered agencies to notify banks, collected accurately for help in the emergency situation of the federal or regional, explained.
