To ensure readiness at country/regional
level to respond to both natural and
complex political emergencies in ourprograms, through collection ofinformation, analysis and planning.

Principal Elements ofPreparedness
Risks and Vulnerabilities (the broad profile of a projectedemergency)
External Preparedness (what other actors are capable ofdoing)
Internal Capacity (what Save the Children is capable ofdoing)
Preparedness Actions (results of the planning process)

September November2006
Emergency Response Team formed, trained
Pre-positioning of emergency supplies: 12 safe play area tents and cooperative game kits
45 school tents 3,000 household kits 6,000 hygiene kits 3,000 family tarps and plastic mats
Based on previous emergencies, predicted an average of200,000 IDPs could be affected. Save the Children wantedto be able to reach 10% of that population within the first 7days (needed enough relief supplies pre-positioned for20,000 people). Due to budget constraints, had to reducethe coverage to 7.5%.

A team from Save the Children health wentto Bireun to conduct a quick assessmentand purchased basic medicine
Lhokseumawae has been split into threeteams, one for procurement and two forassessments. Purchase in Lhokseumawe:blankets, pots, pans, plastic sheeting, rice,
noodles and 10,000 bottles fordistribution. Apparently Lhokseumawe isflooding as well, 30 cm of water near ouroffice, so it is not going to be easy toshop. The assessment team went to do thefield and do distribution according to themost immediate needs
Faruque has contacted WFP who are doingassessments for food distribution.
