The SERV programme is being implemented from
2017. The programme aims to create a cadre of trained volunteers, numbering 1% of
the population of each district.
SERV is expected to:
- Act as First Responders in times of emergencies
- Sensitize the community to make them more resilient to disasters to which the community
is vulnerable
- Provide immediate relief to the disaster-affected communities before additional
support from the government and other agencies arrives
- Reduce vulnerabilities of communities by training the communities on first-aid,
hygiene promotion, social and civic responsibilities, etc.,
- Conduct vulnerability and capacity assessment of their own communities
- Facilitate linkages between the community and Government programmes
- Support any other identified social issues that contribute to the development of
the communities
