It is your skills and commitment that keeps you there in the thick of action. You should be willing to work under extremely stressful conditions. You may be required to work round the clock, without ever looking at the clock.

You will need excellent organisation skills, as you will be managing several things at once. You need excellent communication and people management skills. Attention to detail is an essential quality. You will also need to use your administrative skills, computer skills, and more.

You should be physically fit to carry on with several days of work, sometimes with very little to little rest. Those are the skills that you need to be successful in this area.
