Most of the time, experienced PBV staff members are dispatched to the affected areas to assess damages and possible areas of  need requiring assistance. Once this assessment is complete, we then make an open call for volunteers. As the need for volunteers varies depending on the local situation, please make sure you are abreast of the most recent developments.  \n\n<em>PLEASE NOTE: We have suspended accepting on-site volunteers in disaster-affected areas due to the COVID-19 pandemic. <\/em>However, there are other ways to support the PBV\u2019s activities besides volunteering on-site. Kindly consider volunteering online or supporting us through <a href=\"https:\/\/pbv.or.jp\/en\/donate\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">donations<\/a>. \n\n<strong>2.\tOnline Volunteers<\/strong>\nPBV currently seeks online volunteers who can work with PBV members in the area of public relations \/ strategic communications. \nPublic communications is an important part of PBV\u2019s daily activities; it is even more so when disaster strikes.. Effective and impactful communication is essential to  PBV\u2019s publicity, fundraising, and networking efforts. Volunteering with PBV online will offer you a great opportunity to learn the basics of managing  a non-profit organization\u2019s outreach initiatives while developing your knowledge on the topics of disaster response and disaster risk reduction, regardless of where you are physically present.
