  4. Humanitarian Operations (HO): These are international military operations conducted where the prime task is purely to assist agencies of the humanitarian enterprise in the delivery of humanitarian assistance. The CAF conducts HO as part of the GoC’s efforts to promote international peace and stability. The CAF provides military assets to complement the Canadian national response as developed by DFATD, as part of CONPLAN RENAISSANCE. Disaster Relief Operations (DRO): These are domestic operations conducted by the CAF to assist disaster relief efforts by federal or provincial agencies either at their request or when appropriate authorities have determined that assistance is necessary and the operation is duly authorized. The DART could be used and employed as part of the DRO contingency plans: LENTUS (Canada) HURRICANE (USA & Mexico) Definitions

Commandement des opérations interarmées du Canada UNCLASSIFIED Op RENAISSANCE 15-1 SITUATION UPDATE CHINA NEPAL New Delhi INDIA Pokhara Mt Everest Kathmandu CJOC J2 Assessment:Direct and collateral (terrorism) threat to CAF personnel operating in Nepal is LOW. As with other humanitarian disasters the health hazard IVO the disaster area is assessed to be HIGH based on a lack of sanitation and improper hygiene.  The threat from crime is currently LOW. The greatest hazard comes from the possibility of further infrastructure damage following more aftershocks and heavy rains triggering landslides as Monsoon season is approaching (June-September).
