2. Current Quarter in Review
Overview
PEER has two objectives as follows:
PEER Objective 1: Community Action for Disaster Response (CADRE): Establish a system for enhanced community level first responder capacity in disaster–prone communities in
PEER‟s six core countries (Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan, and the Philippines) with
expansion to Cambodia, Lao PDR and Vietnam (nine countries in total for PEER 3).
Please note: This is the ARC-supplimentary funded component of PEER
PEER Objective 2: Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies (HOPE):
Continuation of the Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies (HOPE) courses in the six PEER countries and
extension of the HOPE courses to the three new PEER countries (Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Vietnam).
ARC funded programs are channeled into Objective 1 – CADRE – so the reporting for PEER to ARC will
focus here on CADRE program developments – although where applicable, and to give complete program
context, HOPE program developments will be reported also.
For CADRE component of PEER the Program Targets are as follows:
Key targets:
1) To develop a current and relevant curriculum that develops the core capability and competences of non-
professional response personnel in communities in the six PEER countries
2) To develop training processes to effectively deliver the training program through sustainable training
methodology, which incorporates best practice adult learning principles and self-evaluation?
3) To establish a core group of instructors who are capable of delivering the training materials, training new
instructors, undertaking self-evaluation, and revising the training materials and processes in the light of self
evaluation and ongoing experiences
4) To develop advocacy and awareness raising initiatives aimed at policy-makers, general public and donors
Country Overview of Program Accomplishments / Challenges
Summary of PEER country accomplishments and challenges for this quarter (April-June 2010)
Notes in RED summarize the main accomplishments and challenges for this particular reporting quarter.
PEER
Country /
Program
Target
Accomplishments Challenges
Bangladesh The Bangladesh Fire Service was tasked by
MOFDM to initiate a training program for
Community Volunteers with an expected 62,000
participants potentially taking part.
ADPC office in Bangladesh are fully briefed and
supportive to the PEER program in Bangladesh,
with translation of materials, logistics, country
coordinators etc
PEER team are following up on all partner
agreement details. with Deputy Secretary Sadeque
of MoFDM and BRCS.
CADRE training materials were used in conducting
community emergency response training in
Jamalpur, Bangladesh under the PROMISE Project
funded by USAID
CADRE training materials are being utilized in a
set of Training of Trainers modules being
developed by ADPC – here the three-day basic
CADRE course will be incorporated into an
extended course to be rolled out in Bangladesh
There are still challenges in getting the
MOU signed by the BRCS.
Postponement of CADRE National Pilot
course due to deployment of Ahmed to
Pakistan for 6 months. Originally
scheduled 10-12 Oct '10. Suggested date
TBC
Logistical issues are difficult to manage
in Bangladesh. The PEER team are
supporting BRCS to plan CADRE –
although finding suitable locations /
venues for trainings, and the lack of
existing clear emergency processes on
which to develop are causing delays.
The CADRE course requires plenty of
space for break-outs and activities, as
well as a safe, secure environment for
all participants and activities.
There needs to be access to caches of
equipment, reliable power supply,
catering facilities etc.
Cambodia Translation of CADRE training package to Khmer
is completed – with the support of ADPC office in
Cambodia.
Review and scoping of CRC available course
materials in Disaster Response- for CADRE usage
and modules for development - underway for
completion 1st Quarter 2011
- There is nothing specifically in CRC for training
community members.
The ADPC country office can offer ongoing
support to PEER.
Scheduling of CADRE National Pilot in
Phnom Penh is pending agreement on
dates. CRC have agreed to begin
activities ahead of finalization of MOU
agreement
CRC agreed to hold the pilot course and
use the activity to sensitize officials and
staff of CRC about CADRE and PEER.
This was also agreed by NCDM (Sec.
Gen. Peou Samy)
CADRE initial courses need to utilize
regional instructors, since there are no
instructors nationally in Cambodia at
this stage – this has financial
implications.
Ongoing political tension between
Thailand and Cambodia – has eased a
little.
Currently CRCS does not have any
training related to SAR and MCI in
which CADRE can contribute
There are challenges locating suitable
premises for conducting CADRE
courses in Laos PDR and Cambodia,
with logistical and equipment supply
challenges.
India Letter from ADPC to NDMA – to schedule a
meeting with Focus, NDMA, SEEDS, District /
chapter level to plan the CPM
Initial contact with Focus Humanitarian & SEEDS
potential partner other than Indian Red Cross
For CADRE – to finance activities in
India from OFDA resources. ADPC
cannot fund activities through ARC as
advised. Any activities for CADRE with
Red Cross in India must draw funds
from the Federal Budget line.
Needs to schedule mission to India to
meet partners from NDMA, MOH and
FOCUS; Request invitation letter for
visa application Funding issues to be
finalized before this can happen.
Ongoing difficulties working directly
with Indian Red Cross due to ARC
preference; No participation in any
PEER 3 activities to date. Funding
issues with ARC working through
alternative Focal Agency NGOs
Discussions with SEEDS etc are
initially supported by ARC, but there
are some serious challenges related to
ARC funding channeled through
alternate NGOs
Indonesia Indonesian National Board for Disaster
Management (BNPB) renewed their commitment
to helping out disaster preparedness and response
associated with the PEER program.

Follow-up on Action Items from last quarter:
The last Quarter Jul-Sept 2010 saw the PEER team undertake CADRE National Pilot course in Vietnam as
well as CPM in Pakistan. There were also steps taken in collaboration with IFRC, and NSET, particularly on
Data Management and Database.
Building on these activities, the PEER team have followed up on the development of adapted CADRE
National Curriculum for Vietnam, synthesizing the recommendations from the Curriculum Adaptation
workshop, and perfecting the translation of the materials.
Following on from the CPM Pakistan, there have not been significant developments, due mainly to the fact
that a matter of weeks after the scheduled CPM, many parts of the country was devastated by flood. During
this reporting quarter, a letter of follow up has been sent to General Nadeem, Director of the National
Disaster Management Agency, encouraging the resumption of program activities when emergency phase is
over
Communications have been ongoing with NSET for data management purpose, PEER Database and other
matters of program management and scheduling. This has included teleconferences and information sharing,
as well as participation of NSET staff in ADPC PEER activities. An NSET staff personnel was invited to be
a participant in HOPE Nepal course in Kathmandu, Nepal.

communications and publications, t-shirts and other necessary equipments
Seeking appropriate venues and equipments for the CADRE courses in country – logistics and
coordination – particularly for Bangladesh
Planning CPM India for the next reporting Quarter – pending finalization of financial arrangements and
working agreements; this centers around discussions with Focus Humanitarian and SEEDS India, with
parallel discussions with IFRC and ARC on the possibilities of collaboration at some level on
implementing CADRE. There are many challenges and aspects to be finalized in India regarding Indian
Red Cross involvement (district / chapter level),
Addressing the challenges of IFRC endorsement and RCNS ownership of CADRE:
o Further study and research into different country contexts for CADRE / CBDRR
o Focus on Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia and Nepal
o Need for each countries‟ CBDRR initiatives and RCNS training to be fully compared and
analyzed with CADRE modules, showing a comparative study of materials, techniques,
timescales, approaches and national adaptations – ahead of Training Implementation in each
country.
o Need for in-country adaptation for the utilization of CADRE – whether this is entire usage of the
training modules, or using them to adapt existing training processes
o These challenges are taken into account by PEER team – the focus for the next quarter is on
establishing this research as standard and fully endorsed by IFRC
This follows on from other opportunities which have previously been taken to build the awareness of
CADRE and the potential for integration and collaboration with existing or long-standing international
and national programs with IFRC – including the CADRE Curriculum Development workshop, and
CADRE Curriculum Adaptation workshops in Vietnam and Philippines.
Addressing the challenges in India for CADRE Implementation:
o Need to schedule the mission in order to start CADRE and HOPE activities in the country.
o Coordination with MOHA and NDMA including the current PEER In Country Consultant Prof.
Vinod Sharma under NSET.
Follow up on agreements with NDMO in Indonesia, Philippines, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam,
Bangladesh, Nepal and India - since agreements with NDMO/A will have a bearing on success and
support for the program in each country.

5. Project Overview
Background to PEER 3:
The Program for Enhancement of Emergency Response (PEER) is a regional program initiated by
USAID/OFDA in 1998. The goal is to enhance local and regional disaster preparedness and response
capacities of vulnerable countries within the Asia region through institutionalization of sustainable disaster
preparedness training programs and emergency response systems. PEER has completed two stages and has
commenced PEER 3 in July 2009.
The Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC), Thailand executed the first stage of PEER during 1998-
2003 in four Asian countries namely India, Indonesia, Nepal, and the Philippines. The primary focus of
PEER Stage 1 was to establish partnerships with key stakeholders in the project countries that laid the
foundation of the program and adapted to the Asian context the basic courses on Medical First Response
(MFR), Collapsed Structure Search and Rescue (CSSR), instructors development courses on Training for
Instructors (TFI), MFR instructors workshop (MFRIW) and Collapsed Structure Search and Rescue
Instructors Workshop (CSSRIW). The complimentary course - Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies
(HOPE), that linked pre-hospital emergency care to tertiary care health facilities was designed and pilot
tested in PEER Stage 1.
PEER 2 - National Society for Earthquake Technology (NSET), Nepal implemented the second stage of
PEER from 2003-March 2009, extending the country coverage to Bangladesh and Pakistan, after the 2005
Kashmir Earthquake. The main focus of PEER 2 was nationalization of the regional basic and instructors‟
development courses on MFR, CSSR through adaptation to the national contexts and languages. Master
Instructors have been trained in the target countries to design, coordinate organize training courses and to
monitor sessions, in place of oversea monitors and course coordinators. Adequate number of course
instructors has been trained in each country to independently organize national level training programs. The
HOPE course was reviewed and re-oriented to address multi-hazard consideration from its earlier seismic
hazard focus during later part of PEER 2. The new HOPE curriculum was finalized, piloted and implemented
in PEER 2. Refresher courses on MFR and CSSR were also developed and piloted.
PEER 3 - The activities in PEER 3 from 2009-2014 are logical continuation of previous program
implementation efforts by ADPC and NSET. PEER Stage III aims to further assist institutionalize the
capacities of countries to implement a sustainable training program in MFR, CSSR and HOPE in the six
PEER countries developing qualified instructors, coordinators, monitors and partnerships with institutions.
With the implementation of the Community Action for Disaster Response (CADRE) in PEER 3, funded by
American Red Cross, this will further broaden the reach of PEER to the local levels, contributing to the
overall goal of the PEER program. PEER is extending the program to three new countries namely Cambodia,
Lao PDR and Vietnam.
Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC)
The Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) is a regional non-profit foundation based in Thailand,
established with an approved charter under the Thai Law by the National Cultural Commission on 12 May
1999 and by the Royal Thai Government on 11 June 1999. Since then, ADPC has been granted inter-
governmental organization status by the Royal Thai Government, which was approved by the founding
member countries on 28 February 2005. ADPC is mandated to promote safer communities and sustainable
development through the reduction of impact of disasters in response to the needs of countries and
communities in the Asia and Pacific region. ADPC works to achieve this mandate by raising awareness,
helping to establish and strengthen sustainable institutional mechanisms, enhancing knowledge and skills,
and facilitating the exchange of information, experience and expertise. This approach is applied to
developing capacity for managing public health aspects of emergencies, which is a key theme in ADPC‟s
program of activities and the focus of ADPC‟s Public Health in Emergencies Team.
Project Progress to Date:
Current Accomplishments this Reporting Quarter:
1) CADRE National Pilot Course:
The first CADRE national Pilot Course took place in Laos PDR during this reporting quarter.
2) CADRE National Course and TFI-CIW
The second CADRE National Course and TFI-CIW took place in Bacolod, Negros Occidental, and
Philippines during this reporting quarter.
3) Collaboration with NSET:
ADPC and NSET as collaborating partners implementing PEER are working together in several key aspects.
These include:
PEER Database and information gathering
PEER Instructor development
Partnership building
The PEER Database:
An accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date PEER Database co-managed and co-owned by NSET and
ADPC as an example of organizational collaboration in PEER 3, will ensure that ADPC and NSET can
effectively oversee and coordinate all program processes for PEER Stage 3, as well as evaluate and monitor
the Program effectively with key statistics and data. The PEER 1-3 database provides the basis for the
following PEER activities which are ongoing and forthcoming:
Accurate information gathering and dissemination
Locating opportunities for networking and collaboration
Evaluating PEER trainings and trainees
Communicating with PEER trainees
Maintaining PEER trainees‟ skills
All process of Monitoring and Evaluating PEER Stage 3
Database Management:
The database information will be shared on a 2-agency basis (NSET and ADPC), ADPC PEER
Team with ADPC taking the lead on CADRE and HOPE activities in 6 countries and NSET
maintaining the information related to their projects alone
Amends are being undertaken during this reporting quarter, on the amends needed to the PEER
database in order to make it usable for PEER 3. These will be finalised in December 2010.
o Addition of three more countries for PEER 3: Laos PDR, Cambodia, Vietnam
o Provision of different levels of user access granted to: delete / add / update / view
o Addition of an „alert feature‟ to indicate when a course graduate is coming up for a refresher
course (three-years on from initial course)
o Additional information on CADRE course development – database fields required for
CADRE as well as HOPE to make the database comprehensive for PEER 3
o Increased ability to search accurately by city or local region – with the benefit that in the
event of a disaster / emergency, it would be possible to identify which trainees
/communities/organisations may be involved or impacted
Next steps:
Comparative Study of CADRE Materials and RCNS Materials:
Priorities for the nest reporting quarter center on the necessity for ensuring adoption of CADRE by RCNS.
The strategy for this is to focus on Comparative Studies in each country, looking at the CBDRR / CBDRM
trainings and curriculums ongoing, planned and available, and measure these against the CADRE modules
and training package, so see where there are gaps / challenges / opportunities for CADRE to add value and
enhance emergency response preparedness in communities. This varies significantly from country-to-country
– so must be achieved on a focused country basis, looking primarily at Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan and
Indonesia.
The context of CBDRR trainings in terms of national protocols and other trainings from EMS and First
Responder organizations must also be considered; e.g. Civil Defense and Fire Services, Army trainings, other
EMS and Ambulance services in the community etc.
This is part of ongoing work to promote ownership of CADRE by RCNS. At the same time, it will enable the
embedding of CADRE into the context of other organizations‟ work in each country, to widen the outreach
and promote increasing institutionalization of CADRE in-country.
Strategies are being considered for maintaining the clear RCNS ownership and involvement, whilst also
allowing materials to be utilized outside RCNS, include adherence to strong branding (use of RCNS and
ARC logo on materials for wider use), utilizing RCNS personnel as monitor and instructors (where possible /
appropriate), and the involvement of RCNS volunteers in the courses conducted by other agencies (where
possible / appropriate).
There is a growing demand and interest on CADRE in all PEER countries, from various partners and
collaborative organizations, for increasing involvement and sense of ownership. This is a great achievement
for the awareness raises being done about CADRE, and the strength of the materials and the concept of
community capacity building through the three-day course. But this enthusiasm and demand for involvement
also brings increasing challenges. These need to be planned for and addressed during the forthcoming
reporting quarter, and the FIRST steps are to get RCNS fully engaged and recognizing the benefits of the
program for their own context.
In the next reporting quarter there will be comprehensive review undertaken of the RCNS CBDRR activities
in Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and Indonesia – by the PEER team at ADPC. This will be fully reported on,
and the end result will hopefully be that these participating RCNS will be fully engaged and willing to move
forward apace, following this process.

Detained Update on This Quarter Actions:
1) CADRE National Course, Course and CADRE TFI
Opening Ceremony- Amity Public Safety Academy, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental - 16 October 2010
Present: Participants: 23 participants from PRC – 143 Teams in Capiz, Iloilo and Bacolod City, and Human
Resource and Training division of the Bureau of Fire Protection, National Headquarters
Dates: October 17-19 for the basic CADRE and 22-29 for the TFI-CIW.
This course in Bacolod City was the second CADRE Basic National Course, followed by Instructor‟s
Development Process through CADRE TFI in Philippines under PEER 3.
This training was for members of the 143 Teams from PRC, and key members of the Bureau of Fire
Protection, HR and Training Division (FNTI). There were 2 courses conducted – (1) Community Action for
Disaster Response (CADRE) Basic Course, and one (2) Training for Instructors- CADRE Instructors
Workshop (TFI-CIW).
The Formal Opening Ceremony was held on the 16 October 2010 at the APSA. Guest Speakers were invited
to attend the opening program. These were: Supt. Fred Trajeras Jr. Provincial Fire Marshal , Hon. Anthony
Golez, Congressman of the Lone District Bacolod City, Negros Occidental, Ms. Gwendolyn PANG,
Secretary General, Philippine Red Cross Society, Mr. Benito T Ramos, Administrator Office of Civil
Defense, Executive Officer National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, Camp General
Emilio Aguinaldo, Quezon City and S-Supt Eleuterio N Iturriaga, Regional Director For Fire Protection,
Iloilo City
The courses were delivered this time by our newly developed PEER instructors from Philippine Red Cross
and Bureau of Fire Protection together with our Senior PEER Master Instructors that will formally deliver
mentoring skills in running these courses.
The Participants came from Philippine Red Cross Society of Capiz, Iloilo, Bacolod city and Bureau of Fire
Protection Region 6. The intention is for all of these participants to eventually replicate these courses down
to the communities in these areas. This is the second Instructors Development process for the Philippines and
this time participants are coming from key areas where 143 are very active, namely Capiz, Iloilo and Bacolod
City.
Three additional CADRE graduates from Bureau of Fire Protection, present in the first CADRE Training in
Bacolod, in August 2010 were also invited back for additional training, to be trained as Instructors from the
Fire Bureau.
The objectives of the Basic CADRE course are to:
Prioritize emergency care given the limited resources the community have and provide safe shelter
for the injured to reduce mortality.
Locate the missing and make a determination about the safety of rescue when necessary.
Prepare to interface with the external assistance when it arrives.
The underlying rationale for CADRE is that non-professional community responders in communities have no
choice but to address these issues while they wait for trained emergency response professionals, following
the incident of a disaster or emergency.
The Objectives of the Training for Instructors (TFI) helps participants develop platform skills necessary to
become effective community speakers highlighting Adult Learning Principles – so they can perpetuate the
training of CADRE effectively to their communities.
With the additional skills from CADRE Instructor‟s Workshop; participants will be taught on how to manage
skills stations, plan community trainings, “learning by doing”, interacting with the CADRE workbooks for
effective facilitation skills and activity management as well as all protocols for managing CADRE under
PEER These key skills enable learning, especially for people at the grass roots level, who may have varying
degrees of literacy and educational skills.
In an additional development - There have been significant developments in a proposal for integrating the
whole CADRE modules into several training courses available from the Fire National Training Institute
(FNTI). Our intention is to train the trainee Officers, Fire Marshals, Chief of Trainings in the Fire Stations /
Depots and Outreach Commanders on Community Response Techniques, incorporate the CADRE module s
as part of "how to train your own community?"
CADRE Training Manager also scheduled a meeting with the director of FNTI to discuss this. The FNTI
have expressed their interest, and discussion has also been entered into with the Chief of Training Division,
Bureau of Fire Protection National Headquarters.
FNTI commitment to sending participants for the courses both in August and in October indicates their
eagerness to participate in the institutionalization of CADRE, alongside PRC. This was also strongly
indicated by their full cooperation, presence and endorsement at the opening ceremonies. They are very
willing to work fully alongside the Philippine Red Cross, and there is a strong collaborative working
atmosphere, towards the mutual goal of safer communities.
The FNTI are also willing to cover own costs for airfare etc. accommodation, as part of their participation.
This has enabled ADPC, PRC participants and senior staff in Bacolod, and FNTI to talk openly about
opportunities for possible institutionalization.
Narrative Review and Outcomes
The CADRE Basic Course and CADRE TFI – CIW progressed as planned and on schedule. On day 1-
October 20, 23 participants confirmed attendance, and lessons commenced. There were several challenges
for CADRE trainings during this time in Bacolod, since there were severe storms and rains, which affected
the ability to train outside in some cases.
Basic CADRE: There were some recommendations for amends and changes in the Basic CADRE training
materials during the progression of the courses, and certain challenges were raised. The following outlines
these issues in brief:
In Lesson 7- Fire Safety- Practical exercises on fire extinguisher, there is the recommendation from
the members of FNTI present as participants that instead of PASS, there should be TPASS or
RPASS. T for twist and R for rotate.
There is a new strategy on Station Presentation on Fire Safety, which utilizes 12 pax during
demonstration instead of 6, which saves time a lot of time.
In Lesson 8- Basic Search and Rescue, there were the following issues:
o safety issues on slippage of levers during lifting,
o building markings are easily washed out by rains – use all-weather chalk
o Water exercises- .New skills introduced- like shallow water crossing, Personal Floatation
Device, water entry and basic ropes for rescue.
o Necessity for introduction of poolside rules during exercises to minimize time-wastage.
o String recommendation that the human chain method in water rescue should be introduced to
Philippines National CADRE
CADRE TFI – CIW: The key issues for perfecting CADRE TFI – CIW involve providing opportunities for
the participants to learn effective teaching techniques, develop confidence in teaching and in giving
instructions, learning how to handle participants, and absolute familiarity with CADRE materials.
This CADRE TFI – CIW particularly indicated the range of skills that potential Instructors bring to the
training, and all require significant skills-development in order to meet the requirements. Some participants
have no background at all how to operate multimedia presentations. Handing over the training materials
packages to them, and showing them how to operate the equipment, and coordinate the class around the
PowerPoint presentations, as well as including the practical demonstrations and break-outs, is a complex, but
highly beneficial experience for all.
It was clear at the end of this course that although many skills had been significantly increased, and new
skills taught, there is still improvement required, particularly in the following areas:
Public Speaking and giving effective instructions
Creating and following a lesson plan
Using and filling in the PEER Instructors Evaluation Forms
These skills will be enhanced through the CADRE Instructor development process, which requires that
trained CADRE instructors first assist experienced instructors in the forthcoming CADRE trainings, and gain
confidence and experience.
The closing evaluation of Participants revealed that all felt almost prepared to face the challenge of teaching
CADRE:
- Topic ngayon ay hindi masakit sa ulo “all topics are not so difficult”
- Lahat ng skills meron na tayo “ we have all necessary skills as instructors”
-
Once again, there were stronger and weaker participants, but the consensus is not to fail participants outright,
rather to indicate their need for improvement and work with them on a one-to-one basis to improve this area.
There is scope within the time-period of the CADRE TFI – CIW to allow this to happen, and the senior
master instructors in CADRE worked particularly with certain participants to achieve a positive outcome for
all.
CADRE Presentations: All Participants received FULL SET of CADRE Presentation preparation
files for power point presentations. The use of multimedia projection during instructor development
courses is effective, and CADRE TFI – CIW participants are taught the skills in how to operate and
lead these lessons using the PowerPoint presentations.
However, there may need to be some modification to the PowerPoint presenting visual aids when we
come down to the community. The worst case scenario is that power may not be available so we
must resort to other types of visual aids. This may require a set of training materials in a large flip
chart, a set of posters, series of handouts etc. This needs to be considered a later stage in ALL PEER
countries, in order to ensure the perpetuation of CADRE effectively to community level.
A creative suggestion could be to replace with flip charts made of tarpaulins, which may be effective
because of its waterproof properties. This could be costly, but it will definitely be reusable, long
term.
If there is a source of electricity, video presentations may also be preferable to understand and more
effective. This could mean that CADRE instructors in the community can present a series of videos,
followed by practical demos, which could ensure consistency and effectiveness in training materials
It is certainly true that it would be very useful to develop small field operation guides. These are very
necessary handy and will be very useful rather than bringing workbooks.
There is also a strong need at the moment in the way the courses are set up for provision of certain
equipments such as a heavy- duty printer for certificates, directories and other admin needs. This also
may not be replicable at community level. So alternative supply or method of collating and
distributing directories, certificates etc may need to be sought.
Not all facilities will have swimming pools or facility for training in water – therefore, there should
be flexibility in terms of handling the practical exercises for lesson 7. This should be possible to do
without the swimming pool.
In some instances it is necessary to change the sequence of lessons - and this should certainly be
permitted, as long as proper coordination with instructor team and facilities is done and PEER
standards achieved.

2) CADRE Pilot National Course, Laos PDR
Venue: Napakuang Resort, Vientiane, Lao PDR
Dates: 13-16 Dec 2010
Present: Participants: 19 participants from LRC, 1 from ADPC Bangkok, 1 from ADPC Laos, two from
National Disaster Management Office. Observers from LRC, IFRC, ADPC, and USAID OFDA, as well as
IFCR consultant.
Opening Ceremony: Guests at the opening ceremony included: Dr. Snivourast Sramany, President LRC Dr.
Thonglien Singnoth, Head Of Vientiane Dr. Bountheung Menvilay, Head Of Disaster Management, Lao
PDR
Mr. Brian Heidel, RA, USAID-OFDA was also present at the training.
The first CADRE Pilot National Course was conducted in Vientiane in association with the LRC and ADPC
Country Office in Laos PDR.
Several Senior Managers from LRC were present throughout the training, and assisting the CADRE Master
Instructors, as well as observing and providing guidance in the course. This was very helpful towards the
perfecting and development of the CADRE National Course in Laos PDR. These were: Dr. Bountheung
Menvilay and Mr. Bounyong Phommachack DIPECHO Project's Coordinator (Disaster Management).
The CADRE course was conducted immediately adjacent to the HOPE course in Laos PDR – at the same
time, in the same facility. This allowed for excellent interaction and access between the trainings and the
participants. When it came to the final simulation exercise, this was done together with BOTH course
participants, which was an excellent use of this opportunity, and a chance for the teams to work together on
an end-to-end disaster response. The trained CADRE participants conducted their initial assessments and
activities as per the trainings, and then were followed up by the responders from the HOPE course as
professional and non-professional responders, with EMT ahead of Hospital Preparedness exercises. Since in
a real disaster or emergency, it would be necessary for there to be close coordination between first
responders, handing over to hospitals, this was an effective training exercise for all involved.
Mr. Brian Heidel, RA USAID OFDA was present as an observer of the trainings and the simulations for
HOPE and CADRE.
Narrative Review and Outcomes:
Planning for the course was done effectively by the Training Manager and In-Country Coordinators.
Instructors arrived early to prepare the venue and other admin and logistical needs. The facility was
considered ideal for CADRE training purposes; The main classroom was spacious and the lighting and air
conditioning was excellent. However facilities for break out activities near the main classroom were not
available, so the area at the side of the main classroom and part of the restaurant was utilized.
A useful asset was the lagoon for water-safety exercises; however the nearby water in the lagoon was not too
clean. The far side of the lagoon was cleaner and hence used for the water exercise
There was an initial concern over the concrete slabs for lifting during CSSR activities. The slabs needed to be
relocated to a nearer location to the classroom, as they had been built some distance away across the bridge
of the lagoon and up a hill. The master Instructors had to load the slab to the truck and transfer it to the new
location near the entrance of the resort. This was a huge task ahead of the trainings. This demonstrates the
initial problems in piloting the courses – where demonstration equipment is difficult to explain. However,
since this pilot, it would not be a problem again.
In terms of the presentations and PowerPoint teaching aids, there was a suggestion to put more pictures in the
slides so that the participants can visualize more on the topics discussed.
LRC were not able to provide the Survival kit, First Aid Kit and the Suit for Dead body Management. Master
Instructors in charge of the lessons needed to assemble the kits and improvise a suit for dead body
management with a rain coat. However, this meant that participants were able to visualize how to assemble
the kits and how to improvise with equipment available.
The CADRE Pilot Course was followed by the CADRE Curriculum Review Workshop attended by all
participants and Instructors, as well as observers and representatives from LRC.
CADRE Curriculum Development Workshop – Laos PDR:
In summary, LRC were able to fully accept the whole set of CADRE modules – as offering significant
advances in their abilities to train communities. There were few recommendations for in-country adaptations
– since there are no in-country curriculums for CBDRR currently operating for integration etc. The only
significant recommendations are the following:
Stretch the training out for four days, since the curriculum was very tightly packed and to avoid
overloading participants in communities with too much information in so short a time.
Include or consider a module for community responders stress de-briefing or PTSD trauma module
for first responders
More needed on UXO modules for border communities in Laos PDR.
[Further report from this CADRE Curriculum Review Workshop and the recommendations for
Curriculum Development and Review for the Laos PDR Country Context will follow.]
