  6. Approach • The plan deals with response for all disasters especially those requiring national level intervention: SAR, shelter, medical care,etc • It is a guideline for immediate response • Contains checklist/form for immediate response • Focus on Response Actions – the first phase for any emergency • Outline Responsibilities/activities and exact sequence of event to be followed after being triggered

  8. Trigger Mechanism • Emergency quick response mechanism • At national level need a response structure • Response to any disaster shows emergency capability of any country • Receipt of signal of impending disaster activates response • Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) in which implementation of efforts on ground is well laid down.

  9. L Concept • To clarify the different levels of response the NDMP defines that districts, provinces and national disasters will be classified as L1, L2, L3 disasters • Most disasters should be managed at L1 & L2 • Defines the different level of disaster in order to facilitate the assistance to the Province • All stakeholder will operate within the overall command of the EOC to ensure coordinated action, efficient coverage, minimise overlap • EOC will operate at national and provincial level initially and then to districts later

  10. L 0 level • L0 level denotes normal times. Maybe utilized for close monitoring and preparatory activities, training and research, rehearsals, inventory update

  11. L1 Level • Disaster can be managed at the district level where the Provincial and National government need to be on the ground and be ready, in case assistance is required.

  12. L2 Level • Disaster situations are those that require assistance and active participation of provincial resources for the management and delivery of emergency resources • Central authority on standby to help

  13. L3 Level • Disaster situation arises in case of large scale disasters that are beyond the capacity of the Province level to handle. • National government resources are mobilised and international community on standby ready to assist
