摘要:The ecological disaster, which occurred at the Galician coast after the collapse of the Prestige, generated a change of attitude towards the active participation in the defense of the environment. Nevertheless, the actions implemented to overcome the effects of the oil spill showed deficiencies in the organization of this type of tasks. This could mainly be due to the ignorance of the mechanisms of action and of the work to be developed by the volunteers. This fact motivated the accomplishment of the current study with the aim of analyzing the participation of volunteers in emergency situations from the citizens’ point of view.
