UNICEF DRR contingency planning toolkit for implementing partners: action matrix
This contingency plan addresses the obligation for all UNICEF Implementing Partners (IP) to prepare their organization and Emergency Response Teams (ERT)/staff in order to reduce disaster risk, by completing all preparedness and response activities listed under different phases and interventions. The plan forms the basis of an organization’s response during anticipated emergency situations. It is designed and intended to assist the organization to collate the necessary data and information, analyse and use it for disaster management and effective and timely decision making. The toolkit allows the organization and ERT to be better prepared for an effective and efficient emergency response should a disastrous event hit the community, district/province the organization is in. This toolkit, if utilized appropriately and optimally by the UNICEF IPs, is intended to help the integration of UNICEF Program Sector emergency and early recovery activities to reduce disaster risk.
