How to become a LizaAlert volunteer in Karelia

Many people mistakenly believe that the activities of the search team "LisaAlert" is limited only to forest expeditions with radios and compasses. However, in Karelia, volunteers are always required for tasks that do not require a trip to nature.

The assistance can be very different: Urban searches: Volunteers patrol the streets, interview passers-by, paste leaflets and check addresses. It is often necessary to help older people who are disoriented and can not find their way home. Remote work: A group of short callers (SKP) contacts medical facilities to check if the missing person has been there. Info-coordinators collect data from witnesses, and the Rapid Alert Team (ROC) disseminates information online. Analytical work: viewing video from surveillance cameras requires great patience and attentiveness. There is also a direction “Forest in communication”, where specialists by phone help the lost to get to people, orienting them on the ground.

LizaAlert emphasizes that the lack of opportunity to go to the forest is not an obstacle for good deeds. Beginners will always be helped to choose a direction to their liking and will conduct the necessary training.
