Abstract
Many Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies are already active in promoting road safety and responding with aid to victims. As a first step of mapping National Society competencies in this area, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies undertook a survey. This report reflects the findings of that survey and reflects the common experiences and challenges facing National Societies in this field. It also provides many new ideas and points of view on how National Societies could address the issue of road safety in the future. National Societies are specially qualified to ensure assistance to victims through first aid training, ambulance services, psycho-social support and first aid posts. (Author/publisher)
