Self-assessment Before Activities

• Is the health condition enough to enter the disaster area?
• Are there people around you who can substitute for your absence?
• Do you have problems with your current work that may be caused by your absence?

Self-assessment During Activities

• Do you have any physical or psychological stress responses to yourself?
• Are there symptoms of post-traumatic stress due to indirect trauma?
• Do you coordinate your activities and share tasks with colleagues?
• Are you keeping the boundary with the survivors and not doing excessive work?
• Do you think you and your colleagues are as important as the survivors?
• Do you have any positive coping strategies that helped you overcome stress in the past?
• Do you have family, friends or coworkers who can help you when your hard time?

Remember: You cannot solve everything by yourself.
