The Crisis Volunteer Scheme was launched on 21 Sep 07 to engage former NSmen as support personnel during emergencies. Response has been good and as of 1 July 08, 304 personnel have signed up as Crisis Volunteers. A workshop aimed at equipping the volunteers with additional knowledge to handle civil-defence-related incidents in the neighbourhood was held on 9 July 08.
Most of the emergencies we witness are on television and in movies. How much can we believe? We asked the experts from Singapore's Home Team to comment on action scenes in five popular movies.
