E.3 Emergency Response Procedures
These procedures provide guidance for communities on how to respond to a variety of emergency situations. Guidelines are given for dealing with both fast occurring, life-threating emergencies (for example floods), as well as for longer lasting events (for example droughts). Procedures to introduce an early warning system for flooding are presented. The guidelines focus on describing practical ‘on the ground’ activities that will help limit the impact of these emergencies on the community and their livelihoods.
