Professional Context
Nurses perform a variety of roles and their responsibilities as health care providers extend to the community. The decisions we make daily and in times of crisis often involve the balancing of human rights with medical necessities, equitable access to services, legal and ethical mandates, and financial constraints. In the event of a major accident or natural disaster, many issues can complicate decisions concerning the needs of an individual or group, including understanding and upholding rights and desires, mediating conflict, and applying established ethical and legal standards of nursing care. As a nurse, you must be knowledgeable about disaster preparedness and recovery to safeguard those in your care. As an advocate, you are also accountable for promoting equitable services and quality care for the diverse community.
Nurses work alongside first responders, other professionals, volunteers, and the health department to safeguard the community. Some concerns during a disaster and recovery period include the possibility of death and infectious disease due to debris and/or contamination of the water, air, food supply, or environment. Various degrees of injury may also occur during disasters, terrorism, and violent conflicts.
To maximize survival, first responders must use a triage system to assign victims according to the severity of their condition/prognosis in order to allocate equitable resources and provide treatment. During infectious disease outbreaks, triage does not take the place of routine clinical triage.
Trace-mapping becomes an important step to interrupting the spread of all infectious diseases to prevent or curtail morbidity and mortality in the community. A vital step in trace-mapping is the identification of the infectious individual or group and isolating or quarantining them. During the trace-mapping process, these individuals are interviewed to identify those who have had close contact with them. Contacts are notified of their potential exposure, testing referrals become paramount, and individuals are connected with appropriate services they might need during the self-quarantine period (CDC, 2020).
An example of such disaster is the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. People who had contact with someone .

Keeping the above issues and gaps in mind the Ministry has formulated a Central Scheme “Comprehensive Scheme for Prevention of Trafficking for Rescue, Rehabilitation and Re-integration of Victims of Trafficking for Commercial Sexual Exploitation-Ujjawala”. The new scheme has been conceived primarily for the purpose of preventing trafficking on the one hand and rescue and rehabilitation of victims on the other.
1. 1x1Microcredit is a non-profit organization that provides microloans to support people living in poverty through local partners. It offers capital at 0% interest to local microfinance institutions.
2. The proposal is for Fundación Paraguaya to become a local partner, allowing it to access capital from 1x1Microcredit to finance microloans. Capital would be provided in Euros at 0% interest with a 6% fee per loan.
3. As a local partner, Fundación Paraguaya would be responsible for managing the loans, including disbursement and repayment. It would also help monitor impact and report outcomes to 1x1Microcredit.

DI SEGUITO SONO PUBBLICATI, AI SENSI DELL'ART. 11 DELLA LEGGE N. 3/2019, GLI IMPORTI RICEVUTI DALL'ENTRATA IN VIGORE DELLA SUDDETTA NORMA (31/01/2019) E FINO AL MESE SOLARE ANTECEDENTE QUELLO DELLA PUBBLICAZIONE SUL PRESENTE SITO
Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

Editor's Notes
Memorandum No. 64, s. 2021 “Guidelines on the accreditation, mobilization and protection of community disaster volunteers, signed by Secretary Delfin N Lorenzana dated 08 June 2021.
The Philippine Government has recognized the important role volunteerism play in nation-building. This is evidenced through several laws that have been promulgated and policies that have been adopted on the subject. Foremost among this is Republic Act No. 9418 or the Volunteer Act of 2007, which declared that: "it shall be the policy of the State to promote the participation of various sectors of the Filipino society... in public and civic affairs, and adopt and strengthen the practice of volunteerism as a strategy in order to attain national development... The inculcation of volunteerism as a way of life shall rekindle in every Filipino the culture and time honored tradition of Bayanihan' to foster social justice, solidarity, and sustainable development. “
The contribution of volunteers in Philippine society is especially evident with respect to disasters. Volunteers provide services in all key thematic areas of disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM), namely: (a) disaster prevention and mitigation; (b) disaster preparedness; (c) disaster response, and (d) disaster recovery and rehabilitation. Some activities in these areas include the conduct of information, education and communication (IEC) campaigns, and DRRM-related capacity development initiatives for disaster-prone communities; support to national and local government in relief assistance, as well as in the conduct of search and rescue operations; and in infrastructure rehabilitation or rebuilding.
The following Policy Guidelines respond to the directive of R.A. 10121 and its corresponding Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) as these present the enabling policies needed to operationalize the accreditation, mobilization and protection of community disaster volunteers, Overall, the Guidelines respond to the call to promote, adopt and strengthen volunteerism among Filipinos, particularly in addressing disaster risk reduction and management
In recognition of the important role volunteers play in DRRM, Republic Act No. 10121 or the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010 declares that: "it shall be the policy of the State to engage the participation of civil society organizations (CSOs), the private sector and volunteers in the government's disaster risk reduction programs towards complementation of resources and effective delivery of services to the citizenry’.
R.A. 10121 mandates the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) to: "create an enabling environment for sustainable participation of CSOs, private groups, volunteers and communities, and recognize their contributions in the government's disaster risk reduction efforts".
R.A. 10121 also states that: "The government agencies, CSOs, private sector, and LGUs may mobilize individuals or organized volunteers to augment their respective personnel complement and logistical requirements in the delivery of disaster risk reduction programs: and activities. The (government) agencies, CSOs, private sector, and LGlJs concerned shall take full responsibility for the enhancement, welfare and protection of volunteers, and shall submit the list of volunteers to the OCD, through the LDRRMOs, for accreditation and inclusion in the database of community disaster volunteers". It further directs the OCD to: "prepare the criteria and procedure for the enlistment of accredited community disaster volunteers or ACDVs. It shall include a manual of operations for the volunteers which shall be developed by the OCD in consultation with various stakeholders".
R.A. 10121 states that processes have to be put in place for the effective accreditation and mobilization of community disaster volunteers. The law also indicates the need to establish necessary policies that will ensure the protection of the Accredited Community Disaster Volunteers (ACDVs). Its IRR further determines the responsibilities pertaining to the accreditation, mobilization and protection of volunteers.
In particular, Rule 9 of the IRR states that the government agencies, civil society organizations (CSOs), private sector, and LGUs may mobilize individuals or organized volunteers to augment their respective personnel complement and logistical requirements in the delivery of disaster risk reduction programs and activities; the same agencies and sectors, therefore, shall take full responsibility for the enhancement, welfare and protection of their volunteers.
For the purpose of the Guidelines, and in consideration of the role these agencies and organizations play; in the accreditation, mobilization and protection of ACDVs, the government agencies, CSOs, private sectors, and LGUs referred to in R.A. shall now be referred to as 'Volunteer Mobilizing Organizations' or 'VMOs’,
Further, the Guidelines mandate that to streamline the ACDV processes, accreditation of individuals and organized volunteers shall be coursed through the VMOs at the local level.
The Guidelines is issued to enable the institutionalization of mechanisms for the effective and efficient accreditation, mobilization and protection of individuals and organized volunteers in all cities and municipalities in the Philippines.
Specifically, the Guidelines aim to:
a. define the minimum qualification criteria and set the general procedures for the accreditation of VMOs, and subsequently, the ACDVs;
b. establish general guidelines for the protocols and procedures for the mobilization of ACDVs;
c. set minimum standards on the protection and provision of compensatory benefits for ACDVs; and
d. define the institutional arrangements needed for the accreditation, mobilization and protection of individuals and organized volunteers.
As mandated under R.A. 10121, the accreditation process is conducted at the local level, by the City or Municipality Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Councils (LDRRMCs), through the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Offices or the LDRRMOs.
The Guidelines cover the processes and procedures involved in (a) the accreditation of the Volunteer Mobilizing Organizations (VMOs), and subsequently, (b) the accreditation of their respective individual community disaster volunteer members.
The Guidelines also pertain to the processes of (a) mobilization and protection of said ACDVs, including (b) the mobilization of graduates of the community-based National Service Reserve Corps (NSRC) in their capacity as ACDVs under the Cities, Municipalities, or Barangay, or through accredited CSOs or Private Sectors.
Only those Filipino community disaster volunteers, including the Resident Foreign Nationals, are covered by these Guidelines. Accreditation and mobilization of international or foreign volunteers are covered by separate laws and/or policies under the Philippine National Volunteer Service Coordinating Agency (PNVSCA), or the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).
The following policies shall guide the Regional and Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Councils (R/LDRRMCs), Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Offices (LDRRMOs), and other stakeholders concerning the accreditation, mobilization and protection of community disaster volunteers:
a. Accreditation and mobilization of community disaster volunteers shall be undertaken through the Volunteer Mobilizing Organizations or 'VMOs', which can either be government agencies, CSOs, private sector, or LGUs. An individual community disaster volunteer shall register and become a member of a VMO for him/her to be accredited;

f. Any Filipino citizen of legal age, regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion or physical capability may be an accredited ACDV provided the qualification criteria that have been defined for the volunteer role he or she is applying to are met.
The following section provides the specific guidelines that must be followed with regards to the accreditation, mobilization and protection of ACDVs:
Accreditation
1 . As stipulated in R.A. 10121 , accreditation shall be done at the City or Municipal level, through the LDRRMCs who shall accredit VMOs and subsequently, the community disaster volunteers.
2, The LDRRMCs, through a resolution, shall adopt qualification criteria for the accreditation of VM0s, particularly for those organizations that are either CSOs or the private sector, using the minimum standards and requirements set forth in these guidelines.
An individual NSRC may register as a member of CBNU or at any barangay where he/she resides or works and be accredited at the city/municipality for him/her to be an ACDV. The CBNU or barangay that the individual NSRC has registered at shall now apply for accreditation as VMOs at their respective localities.
Community- based NSRC Units (CBNUs) established in I-CUs shall apply for accreditation as VMOs in cities and municipalities for their members to be ACDVs. School based National Service Reserve Corps Units (SBNUs), which are under the control, administration, and supervision of colleges/universities under CHED or TESDA, shall not qualify as ACDVs.
