First responders have long been one of the many groups symbolizing courage, strength, and bravery. However, some people may not know the vital roles that first responders play in natural disasters. Here’s everything you need to know about a first responders’ role in fighting on the front lines of a calamity.
What Is a First Responder?
Every community has dedicated helpers in many fields, from psychology to law enforcement to firefighting; all of these people can be considered first responders. Every natural disaster creates a highly vulnerable space that requires strong individuals who know how to handle themselves under pressure. Therefore, before any emergency worker can respond to emergencies, they need to take workshops and specialized training, where they’ll learn how to prepare their communities and what to do when they get to a place after a disaster.
A first responder spends their time finding building their PPE gear kit before being called out. Every tool they use helps them safely get through a catastrophic event. They also educate residents on how to react to and survive events and prepare communities for future disasters.
What Do First Responders Do?
Respond to Emergencies
Many emergency workers don’t respond only to local calamities; they also respond to national calls for disasters such as wildfires and hurricanes. When answering a national call, they first go through the details of the mission and find out how they’re going to be helping victims. A first responder reacts in a neutral way in order not to escalate the situation. Other duties they’re expected to carry out are to evacuate unsafe areas and to control crowds of people.
Develop Evacuation Plans
Every building needs an evacuation plan and disaster plans for high-risk situations. Emergency workers help these locations and their staff by adding extra layers of protection through additional security or shelters.
Provide Mental Health Resources
A national emergency harms many individuals’ mental health. Emergency workers such as social workers and psychologists can treat anyone who has had an adverse mental reaction to an emergency, alleviating the tension of the situation. Through this, communities can better understand what else they need to do if residents have harmful responses to catastrophic events.
There’s so much to know about a first responder’s vital role in natural disasters. Preparedness is a must to learn when responding to dangerous situations.Take the time to get to know your local emergency response team to learn how you can give back.

SECRETARY-GENERAL The Secretary-General just arrived in Dhaka, Bangladesh, to start off his Ramadan solidarity visit. Tomorrow, he will meet with the Chief Adviser of the government, Muhammad Yunus and travel with him to Cox’s Bazaar. They will meet there with Rohingya refugees who have been forcibly displaced from their homes in Myanmar and also, they will meet with the host Bangladeshi communities who have been so generous in hosting them. The Secretary-General will also share an Iftar with the refugees, and he will also issue a call to the international community to step up their humanitarian assistance for these men, women and children who have already suffered so much. And on Saturday in Dhaka, the Secretary-General will meet with youth and representatives from civil society. He will also have a joint press conference with the Foreign Adviser, Touhid Hossain.
SYRIA Following the Constitutional Declaration issued by the Caretaker Authorities in Syria, the Special Envoy for Syria, Geir Pedersen, said he welcomes moves toward restoring the rule of law and notes that this development potentially fills an important legal vacuum. The Special Envoy hopes the declaration can be a solid legal framework for a genuinely credible and inclusive political transition. Proper implementation will be key, he said, along with continued efforts to ensure transitional governance in an orderly manner. In a statement, the Secretary-General said that 14 years have now passed since the Syrian people stood up in peaceful protest for their universal rights and freedoms, only to be met with brutal repression. Mr. Guterres added that what began as a call for peaceful change turned into one of the world’s most devastating conflicts, with an incalculable human cost. The Secretary-General spoke about the millions of men, women and children who were displaced and subjected to unimaginable hardship. Yet, the Syrian people never wavered in their steadfast and courageous calls for freedom, for dignity, and for a just future. Since 8 December, however, we saw renewed hope that Syrians can chart a different course and the chance to rebuild, the chance to reconcile, and the chance to create a nation where they can all live peacefully and in dignity. The Secretary-General said nothing can justify the killing of civilians, that we have been reporting in recent days. He stressed that all violence must stop, and there must be a credible, an independent, an impartial investigation of violations and those responsible must be held to account. He added that the caretaker authorities have repeatedly committed to building a new Syria based on inclusive and credible foundations for all Syrians. Now is the time for action, he said. He concluded by reiterating that we stand ready to work alongside the Syrians and support an inclusive political transition and we stand with the Syrian people towards the promise of a better Syria – for all Syrians.
TREATY ON STATE BORDER BETWEEN THE KYRGYZ REPUBLIC AND THE REPUBLIC OF TAJIKISTAN The Secretary-General warmly welcomes the signing of the Treaty on the State Border by the Presidents of the Kyrgyz Republic and the Republic of Tajikistan, and that took place today in Bishkek. He congratulates the two countries on this historic achievement and commends their leadership, their determination and their political will to bring the decades-long negotiation process to a successful conclusion. The Secretary-General looks forward to a sustained constructive engagement between the two countries towards fostering mutual trust, good-neighbourly relations and a peaceful future for their people and the broader region.

United Nations Video: Humanitarian worker: Overstretched and Under-resourced - Press Conference | United Nations
Press Conference by Tom Fletcher, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, on
--------------------------------------------
UN Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher said, “The pace and the scale of the funding cuts that we've faced are, of course, a seismic shock” to the humanitarian sector.
Addressing the press, Fletcher said, “We were already overstretched, under-resourced, and literally under attack with last year being the deadliest year on record to be a humanitarian worker. But of course, it's far tougher for the people who we serve. 300 million plus right now need humanitarian support.”
He stressed, “Many will die because that aid is drying up. And across the humanitarian community, programs are being stopped right now. Staff are being let go right now; I think 10 percent of NGO colleagues were laid off in the course of February. And across the UN family and our partners, we're making tough choices day to day about which lives we will have to prioritize, which lives we have to try to save. And so, I think this period ahead, the weeks actually ahead will define how we emerge as a humanitarian movement from this sustained challenge.”
He said, “I'll receive at the end of this week, on Friday, detailed plans from all of our humanitarian coordinators. So, the lead humanitarian official in each of our crisis countries, drawn together by their humanitarian country team across agencies and NGOs on how they will change their strategies to make this new challenge.”
He continued, “But behind that regrouping, we'll also have to renew what we do as well. We'll have to build fresh arguments, fresh allies for our work. We'll have to find new sources of funding. We'll have to fight back. We'll have to reimagine what we do, and - this is an important point and easy thing to say, much harder to actually deliver - we will have to shift power towards our humanitarian leaders in country and towards the people that we serve, the communities that we work with on the frontlines of the humanitarian crisis.”
He added, “So, we need a humanitarian decade, we'll have to win afresh that argument for humanitarian and international solidarity. And that is a cause which I believe is mightier than year to year fluctuations and political changes.”
He highlighted, “We have been reliant in recent years – over reliant - on US funding. Almost half of our appeals have been funded by the American taxpayers. And it is important to recognize that we shouldn't ever take that for granted. Particularly, in a period of economic difficulty and in a period when, when many governments are in retreat from the world.”
Answering a question, he said, “I can't put a precise number on what the US cuts, the difference that would make. But what I can say is that over years and decades now, the US has been a humanitarian superpower, and the US funding has saved hundreds of millions of lives. And so, I hope that over time, we can make the case afresh for why that work is so important, and that we can ensure that funding is resumed so we can carry on saving that number of lives.”

UN80
This morning, in a press encounter, the Secretary-General said that during this 80th anniversary year of the United Nations, it is essential that an organizational system as complex and crucial as ours subjects itself to rigorous and regular scrutiny to assess its fitness for purpose in carrying out its goals efficiently.
This is why he has informed Member States that he is officially launching what we call the UN80 Initiative.
The Secretary-General has appointed a dedicated internal Task Force led by the Under-Secretary-General for Policy, Guy Ryder, and composed of principals representing the entire UN system.
The objective will be to present to Member States proposals in three areas: first, rapidly identifying efficiencies and improvements in the way we work; second, thoroughly reviewing the implementation of all mandates given to us by Member States, which have significantly increased in recent years; and third, a strategic review of deeper, more structural changes and programme realignment within the UN System.
OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warns that after 11 days of no humanitarian assistance entering Gaza, the crucial progress made during the first six weeks of the ceasefire continues to unravel. Across the Gaza Strip, it is becoming more difficult for people to have decent and sufficient food, water, medical services and other vital items.
Efforts to restore the health system in Gaza continue, but progress is slow. In North Gaza governorate, only 16 per cent of health service points are functioning either fully or partially. That includes three out of five hospitals, six out of 50 medical points, and four of over two dozen primary healthcare centres.
Major challenges also persist in solid waste management. Overflowing trash is creating unsanitary living conditions and obviously, heightening public health risks.

BBC News Video: Former Kremlin advisor says 'best possible outcome is Ukraine’s total capitulation' | BBC News
While US President Donald Trump pushes Russia and Ukraine for a ceasefire, influential voices in Moscow are calling on the Russian authorities to adopt a hard line.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has suggested he is ready for a halt in fighting but says "there are nuances" - which he laid out talks with US envoy Steve Witkoff at the Kremlin on Thursday.
From the start of this war, Putin has demanded the "demilitarisation" of Ukraine, which is anathema to Kyiv and its allies.
The BBC’s Russia Editor Steve Rosenberg has been speaking to political scientist and former Kremlin advisor Sergey Karaganov.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he agrees with the idea of a ceasefire in Ukraine, but that "questions" remain about the nature of a truce - as he set out a number of tough conditions for peace.
He was responding to a plan for a 30-day ceasefire, which Ukraine agreed to earlier this week following talks with the US.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described Putin's response to the plan as "manipulative" and called for more sanctions on Russia.
Meanwhile, the US placed further sanctions on Russian oil, gas and banking sectors.

BBC News Video: Putin casts doubt on Ukraine ceasefire plan with string of conditions | BBC News
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has cast doubt on Russia’s willingness to agree an initial 30-day ceasefire in the war in UKraine, laying down a string of conditions that will be hard to meet.
Mr Putin said he agreed with the idea of a ceasefire in Ukraine but had "many questions” about the proposed US-brokered ceasefire. The Russian leader suggested that Ukraine should neither rearm nor mobilise and that western military aid to Kyiv be halted during the 30-day ceasefire.
Ukraine has already agreed to the proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in talks with the United States. President Volodymyr Zelensky described Putin's response to the plan as "manipulative”. US President Donald Trump said it would be “very disappointing” if Russia refused to agree to the ceasefire. The US has placed further sanctions on Russian oil, gas and banking sectors.

International Video: Syria latest: historic deal signed after fighting kills over 1,000
Syria's central government has signed a deal with the Kurdish-led authority that controls the country's northeast. It's a major breakthrough for Interim President Ahmed Al-Sharaa. It comes as the defence ministry says it's completed its operation against supporters of ousted president Bashar Al-Assad in his coastal heartland.

More than a thousand people are reported to have died in the last few days - most of them civilians from the Alawite minority sect Assad belongs to.
The violence erupted along the Mediterranean coast on Thursday when Assad loyalists launched a coordinated assault on security forces in Jableh.
Fighting quickly spread to Tartus and Latakia - formerly an Assad stronghold - as the government moved to contain the insurgency, helped by fighters from across the country. Then the revenge killings began.
According to a human rights organisation 545 civilians were killed in Latakia and 262 in Tartus.
While in the Hama countryside 156 people were killed and 10 in the city of Homs.
