翻译服务的外国搜索和救援队在灾难现场的志愿仍然是最不制度化的形式之一，社区口译。然而，为了消除由于种族、文化、宗教、语言、族裔等原因而可能发生的冲突，需要进行培训和认真规划。这种口译的成功取决于对敏感的跨文化问题的谨慎处理。1999年在土耳其部分地区发生的地震表明，需要在灾害管理的整个过程中规划口译服务。这里提出的问题涉及国际搜索和救援行动准则以及救灾口译员的行为守则，特别是因为这些问题影响到灾害中的口译员培训项目。由合格的独立志愿口译员为帮助在灾难中拯救生命而实践的IAD的道德框架纯粹是交际和面向情境的。因此，互利假设对志愿口译员有效，因为他们满足于成为一个不可或缺的中间人，通过有效和高效的沟通帮助拯救尽可能多的生命，并对所需的举措承担全部责任。
Abstract Voluntary interpreting services for foreign Search and Rescue teams at disaster sites remain one of the least institutionalized forms of community interpreting. Yet training and careful planning are required in order to eliminate possible conflicts due to race, culture, religion, language, ethnicity and the like. The success of such interpreting depends on the careful handling of sensitive cross-cultural issues. The earthquakes that devastated part of Turkey in 1999 revealed the need to plan interpreting services within the overall process of disaster management. Here issues are raised concerning the international search and rescue operation guidelines and the code of conduct of the relief interpreters, especially as such questions affect an Interpreter-in-Aid at Disasters (IAD) training project. The ethical framework of IAD, practiced by qualified independent voluntary interpreters in order to help save lives in disasters, is purely communicative and situation-oriented. The mutual benefit hypothesis thus works for the voluntary interpreter thanks to the satisfaction of being an indispensable intermediary, helping to rescue the largest number of lives possible via effective and efficient communication, and undertaking full responsibility for the initiatives required.
