The purpose of these guidelines is to pull together good practice from around the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement (Movement) into a framework to support National Societies in improving their work with volunteers in emergencies. These guidelines will be primarily useful for National Society focal points for volunteer coordination and disaster management. The guidelines provide insights into policy and operational issues that need to be negotiated within National Society management, and with volunteers.
