3.2. The Community - Local Emergency Plan

Every community should develop its own emergency plan with the participation of the local institutions and agencies. Clearly define the responsibilities of each institution and methods of coordination and collaboration. Analyze the risks threatening the various sectors of the community and develop immediate interventions recognizing both geographic and climatic conditions for various regions. Obtain input from regional and national levels, involving national and regional health officers in the planning process.
