Emergency Architects, Architectes de l'urgence, is a non-profit organization that provides help after natural disasters (such as earthquakes or tsunamis) or armed conflict to make an initial assessment of the condition of buildings. After that, the association puts in place ongoing and sustainable reconstruction programs, in co-operation with local communities.
Today, most Emergency Architects volunteers are young architects or engineers and, although they have enormous enthusiasm, they do not always have much field experience. For this reason, Bouygues Bâtiment International is proposing to send the foundation volunteer staff who, because of their solid work site or design experience and their international know-how, will be able to train and organize both volunteers from Emergency Architects and local people involved in the project.
* A Skills Volunteering agreement is a support offered by a company.
