Sanid program started operations since 2009.
Sanid is active on Instagram @Sanid_Program, Twitter @Sanid, and on Facebook (SanidProgram).
Interested organizations or volunteers can contact the Sanid free toll number: 800-Sanid (72643) or 800 – Shabab (742222) for any questions or Enquiries or by sending an email to info@sanid.ae
Any UAE national or UAE resident of any nationality 18 years and above can volunteer with Sanid.
Active volunteers can further enhance their skills by specializing in Sanid functions such as: Leadership, Logistics, Communications and Safety. The volunteers can also choose to participate in the different refresher trainings, training exercises, and disaster simulations with authorities, national events and emergency responses that Sanid program is called in for.
Volunteers can visit the Sanid website (www.sanid.ae) where they can find information on Sanid trainings, upcoming / past events, additional important updates, as well as view our picture gallery.
Sanid volunteers will be provided with ID cards and certificates upon completion of their training and all other requirements
- Relevant Sanid material will be provided depending on the volunteer roles
- Sanid general volunteers will receive basic individual response kits
- Sanid volunteer functionaries such as Sanid leaders will be provided with advanced response kits and response equipment.
- Sanid functionaries are only authorized to use the Sanid response equipment upon permission of Sanid National Office.
No, any equipment provided during the Sanid trainings, exercises or events must be returned to the Sanid Office; this includes vests or any Sanid equipment.
Sanid volunteers will be notified by SMS of upcoming trainings and events dates and/or venues. The SMS will contain basic information on the training and event along with a contact number if the volunteer has any doubts or question. We encourage all volunteers to continuously visit our “Trainings & Opportunities” page for a list of updated and available opportunities.
Sanid provides attendance sheets for each training or event conducted; the volunteer needs to sign in and out of this attendance sheet for each training day or event day. The attendance sheet will then be entered into the database to ensure the volunteer records are updated.
Each volunteer needs to attend all the training program relevant modules. However, if a volunteer misses one or more training modules, he/she will be notified by SMS with upcoming details (date, venue, etc) of the missed training. Once the volunteer attends all the missed trainings he will stop receiving notification via SMS.
The Sanid Identity Card identifies the holding volunteer as an authorized Sanid volunteer in activities and events. It can also be used as a reference for indication of First Aid course completion when asked for assistance in emergencies as an individual.
It is important to highlight that in emergency situations, where Sanid volunteers participate individually, the Sanid ID card does not imply volunteer participation as a Sanid official functionary called upon by the Sanid National Office.
Sanid volunteers may only respond in a Sanid official capacity, when they are authorized and directed to respond only by the Sanid National Office. No response will be considered as an official Sanid Response unless the notification comes from the Sanid National Office. Otherwise the response is considered an individual response from the volunteer him/herself.
