  1. What is Operation Amphibian? > A simulation activity designed to show young people how the Red Cross responds to emergencies. > There are two versions of the activity, using different scenarios. You can choose from either a disaster zone or war zone.

  2. The key issues in both scenarios > Displaced people, driven from their homes, live under constant threat from landmines and snipers (war zone) or terrible flooding (disaster zone). Many children have been separated from their families. > There is a chronic shortage of food and clean water, and a risk of serious disease from lack of hygiene.

  3. The aim of the activity > Participants take roles as members of the Red Cross from around the world. They have to work together to respond to the needs of displaced people. They are led by a local member of the Red Cross from the affected country. > The key needs are shelter and clean running water. They also need to reunite separated families.

  4. How the activity is run 1 You will train for your role as a member of the Red Cross. This includes learning about landmines for the war zone scenario, or understanding people’s needs and wants during a disaster. 2 You will learn first aid and apply what you’ve learned. 3 You will consider your surroundings and environment and map the area you’ve fled to.

  5. How the activity is run 4 You will build bridges to enable safe crossing of a river in your area. 5 You will build a safe camp, erecting shelters and supplying them with goods from the warehouse. 6 You will run a tracing enquiry to trace loved ones who may be lost. 7 You will run clean water to the camp from a water supply. (optional activity)
