Tips for volunteers wishing to contribute their time and effort
0. Take care of yourselves; else you will not be able to take care of others.
1. Take appropriate winter clothing.
2. Take a first-aid kit for your group
3. Never visit an affected site without gloves and a mask
4. Add a disinfectant(dettol) to the water you use to bathe
5. Try to cook your own meal - if you have taken enough utensils/groceries to cook
6. Ensure that you bring about some order in the place before you start distributing materials to the affected people. This will prevent mobbing.
7. Establish a communication channel with somebody in the city before you leave to the affected area. That way you will be able to find out the needs at the site and intimate it to the people in the city who are willing to donate but do not know what to send across.
8. If you find that help has not yet reached some remote area, inform the district collector's office.
