• Red Cross 143 aims to develop a network of trained Red Cross volunteers nationwide for mobilization during non-disaster time and rapid response in emergencies and disaster including health and welfare aspects. The end goal of the Red Cross 143 is to have a corps of trained volunteers in the cities, municipalities and barangays of the country that would look into their respective communities.

• The 143 volunteers will serve as the “eyes, ears, hands and feet” of the community. The 143 volunteers will report to Red Cross, through available and convenient means of communication, their initial assessment and report of a disaster or any eventually that may lead to a disaster. We aim to have 44 volunteers in all the barangays of the community, which means around 1.8 million Red Cross 143 volunteers nationwide.

• Physically, mentally and emotionally fit;
• Able to communication effectively and work well with others;
• An active community member;
