Pre-plan a time-efficient, safe response, minimizing responder’s engagement

  • Plan mobilization, communications, logistics and legal issues for specific scenarios. Understand possible help from outside the regional system.
  • Package and preposition modules of resources, equipment and logistics for quick transport, and easy tracking. Plan its mobilization.
  • Be sure that there are at your disposal a minimum of logistical resources and supplies to provide the populationduring long duration emergencies.
  • Gather and share relevant information of local hostile scenarios, and its pre-planned response measures.
  • Focus efforts on passive prevention for safe access.
  • Identify who can perform them key specific roles.
  • Create networks of experts that exchange knowledge, experience and best practices.
  • Coordination between cross-border crews.
