People often say that joining the Civilian Rescue Team requires a significant investment of time and money, but this claim may not be entirely accurate. From a time perspective, it is undeniable that participating in such activities necessitates a commitment of time. However, it is worth noting that civilian organizations typically do not impose strict requirements; team members can flexibly arrange their schedules based on their individual circumstances.
When it comes to financial matters, engaging in public welfare activities generally does not demand excessive spending. However, if one focuses on the Public Welfare Rescue sector, expenses can indeed become considerable. Even in such cases, we still have the autonomy to choose the type of missions and groups we wish to join. For instance, one could engage in logistical support, responsible for resource allocation and equipment maintenance, or join the news center to disseminate updates on rescue progress and related information.
Of course, if someone has reservations about participating directly in rescue operations, they can opt for non-rescue-related tasks, such as conducting public awareness campaigns. By educating the public on safety knowledge and emergency response methods, they can also contribute to the cause and play an active role. In summary, while joining the Civilian Rescue Team may involve certain time and financial costs, we possess enough autonomy to weigh our options and make decisions that suit our needs.
In everyday life, I often encounter people who curiously approach me to inquire about the team's funding sources. They look at me with wide eyes and puzzled expressions, as if this question has been lingering in their minds for quite some time. Some even go so far as to ask directly: "How much do you earn each month?" Their eagerness suggests they won't rest until they receive an answer. Facing these questions can sometimes be overwhelming, but I see it as a reflection of people's concern and curiosity about our team.
Let me clarify this issue in detail. First of all, we must understand that civilian nonprofit organizations are different from conventional workplaces where people receive salaries. In these organizations, each member has their own primary job to attend to. However, once a Mission Notification is received, everyone quickly comes together to collaborate and complete the task at hand. Moreover, there’s a unique aspect: all expenses incurred during missions are not covered by a single entity or reimbursed uniformly; instead, they are shared among team members. This situation feels reminiscent of the saying: "When gathered together, we are like a blazing fire; when dispersed, we shine like stars." When everyone comes together, it’s like a roaring flame filled with passion and strength; once the mission concludes and we go our separate ways, we become twinkling stars in different corners, continuing to shine brightly.
Now let's discuss funding matters further. In fact, there are numerous avenues for obtaining funds for civilian nonprofit organizations. For instance, many compassionate individuals and socially responsible companies generously contribute donations. Additionally, government departments sometimes conduct public welfare project bidding activities; if our organization is outstanding enough with an excellent proposal, we can successfully win bids and receive corresponding financial support. Furthermore, some exceptionally performing teams even manage to be self-sufficient! I know of one such team that sells rescue equipment to generate profit. They use the surplus after covering costs to subsidize their operations—this not only addresses funding issues but also allows the team to function more effectively; truly a win-win situation!
Let’s talk about why Public Welfare Rescue can be so costly! Initially, when participation numbers were low, there weren’t many expenses involved. However, as time goes by and a team grows stronger and more mature, its membership continues to increase. Concurrently, the types of missions undertaken become increasingly diverse.
Once the scale of personnel and overall team capability reaches a certain level of improvement, acquiring various professional equipment becomes necessary. Take Water Rescue as an example; tools like Assault Boats are essential for swift navigation across water surfaces; outboard motors are indispensable for propelling boats forward; additionally, swiftwater rescue vests ensure rescuers' safety in turbulent waters; sonar systems help detect underwater conditions and enhance rescue efficiency. In earthquake rescue scenarios, rock drills can break through hard rocks to create rescue pathways; expansion tools and cutting tools assist in removing obstacles to free trapped individuals. Moreover, ropes are essential for constructing temporary pathways or securing rescue equipment. Advanced devices like life detectors are crucial as well—they accurately locate survivors' positions and provide key clues for rescue efforts. Furthermore, Medical Supplies such as first aid medications and bandages along with Equipment Vehicles also require substantial financial investment.
In summary, these pieces of equipment vary in price from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands; each item is vital for ensuring that Public Welfare Rescue operations proceed smoothly and efficiently. It is precisely because of their existence that Public Welfare Rescue teams have the capacity to save more lives in peril.
Individuals generally cannot bear these costs alone; it requires collective effort from the team. Additionally, if there aren’t many rescue missions planned ahead, these pieces of equipment might only be used occasionally for support or public awareness campaigns. However, vehicle expenses accumulate significantly over a year—typically speaking, a well-equipped team should ideally have at least two vehicles: one dedicated to transporting personnel and another primarily for carrying various equipment and supplies. Even with such basic requirements for vehicle configuration, annual costs related to insurance fees, fuel consumption, routine maintenance, and potential repairs can add up considerably!
Undoubtedly, participating in rescue operations necessitates mastering various relevant skills. Nowadays, numerous training institutions have emerged like mushrooms after rain; however, very few possess true authority and professionalism. Moreover, the training fees charged by these rare reputable institutions are often quite high. This deters many individuals who may be interested but cannot afford it due to financial constraints; others may struggle to coordinate their schedules effectively enough to attend training sessions despite managing to scrape together tuition fees—resulting in incomplete education ultimately. Even worse is that some people may sign up for training but have alarmingly low attendance rates.
