On the onset, there is no doubt that Global Communicators and Warning Network Inc has proven itself as a volunteer organization which the capability of providing its services to the community in over seven years. The organization has been able to grow and develop however, admittedly a closer look at details that would define an organization’s capacity to respond would actually make you skeptic and ask “how did Global Communicators and Warning Network Inc survive those seven years of operation?”

First let’s look at the facts.

CAPACITY/ SKILLS / EXPERTISE OF MEMBERS

The organization has 1100 regular members; more than 50% is in the below 40 age group; and more than 90% are Male. These facts would signify physically abled bodies no doubt. They can mobilize and respond during emergencies to perform tasks assigned to them.

The diversity of its members in different aspects of comparison may pose as a liability to certain groups but not for Global Communicators and Warning Network. It is treated as an outstanding, remarkable characteristic of Global Communicators and Warning Network members, being different or having differences. Each regular member goes through a probationary period of service regardless of your age or if you’re rich or poor. It may be months or sometimes even a couple of years. During this period a probationary member can participate, get trained and act like a part of the team but they do most of the dirty bits of the service. It is maybe during this time, each one is honed in terms of discipline, humility, respect, integrity, and other values in life that would make them an independent but almost perfect fit in the puzzle.

TIMELY DELIVERY OF SERVICES

The active member-responders of Global Communicators and Warning Network are located at the town/city proper. Some are even neighbors. So, during emergencies most often than not, they are able to provide a timely response. Coincidently, most of them are only a few minutes away from accident prone areas in the national road.

Capitol University Medical Center (CUMC) donated a multi-cab for the use of the group in 2018.
