Creating/Maintaining a Preparedness and Response Plan

• Each Save the Children Country Office is expected to have an emergency preparedness and response plan, that will be regularly updated. This preparedness and response plan will have sector topics – including emergency health and nutrition. Actively engage with your country office emergency point person to make sure sector preparedness and response on emergency health is incorporated and updated regularly

• Seasonal mapping – if your Country Office has seasonal mapping of potential disasters by geography and time, do include what potential health risks there might be for the population at risk. You can find resources for this under the WHO emergency preparedness website for your country office.

Creating/Maintaining a Preparedness and Response Plan

• Country level disaster preparedness and response meetings that are lead/coordinated by WHO or national bodies are important sources of information, and might be of value to engage at country or project level

Creating/Maintaining a Preparedness and Response Plan

• Participate/contribute to Save the Children global capacity building initiative on emergency health; this will include online elluminate trainings on emergency health, and sharing of lessons learned from emergency health responses
