PEER 3 PROGRAM
QUARTERLY PROGRAM PROGRESS REPORT
Implemented by:
ADPC
Submitted to:
USAID
Reporting Period:
July-Sept 2010
Executive Summary
Follow-up on Action Items from last quarter
The last Quarter April-Sept 2010 saw the PEER team undertake CADRE course in National Pilot Course –
Bacolod, Philippines (x2) as well as CADRE Training for Instructors course, – Bacolod, Philippines (x1), the
CPM Cambodia and the CPM Vietnam. Please see ANNEX 1 for CADRE Development process.
This Reporting Quarter: Building on this Regional and National program establishment undertaking, and the
commencement of National-level activities, the PEER team has begun the development of adapted CADRE
curriculums for National implementation and use. The National Pilot course has been undertaken in Da Nang,
Vietnam, with a successful Curriculum Development Workshop taken place in this reporting quarter, to hone
the materials ready for national training and roll-out at local level. Also for CADRE, there has been some
potential progress in India ahead of CMP planned for October/November, which centre around discussions with
Focus Humanitarian and SEEDS India, with parallel discussions with IFRC and ARC on the possibilities of
collaboration at some level on implementing CADRE. This has also proved a challenge, and this will be
reported on further in this report.
For HOPE, there have been successful courses implemented in Indonesia and Nepal under the Partial Funding
Assistance Program (PFAP). There have been developments in conceptualizing possible updates from ADPC‟s
experience in conducting the Hospital Emergencies Preparedness and Response course (HEPR), which include latest
best practice and themes from the recent ISDR world campaign on Safe Hospitals, and integrating these into
national HOPE curriculums.

The PEER 3 program objectives that the activities fall under are:
PEER Objective 1: Community Action for Disaster Response (CADRE): Establish a system for enhanced community level first responder capacity in disaster–prone communities in
PEER‟s six core countries (Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan, and the Philippines) with expansion to
Cambodia, Lao PDR and Vietnam (nine countries in total for PEER 3).
PEER Objective 2: Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies (HOPE):
Continuation of the Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies (HOPE) courses in the six PEER countries and
extension of the HOPE courses to the three new PEER countries (Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Vietnam).
I) Activity Outline:
PEER Pakistan - Country Planning Mission Dates: 5-9 July 2010
Location: National Committee on Disaster Management, Prime Minister‟s Secretariat, Islamabad, Pakistan.
Participants: NDMA-Hosted meeting: Lt. General Nadeem Ahmed R, Chairman of NDMA and
representatives from NDMA, USAID –OFDA, Pakistan Red Crescent National Society, Pakistan Institute of
Medical Science (PIMS), Pakistan Emergency Services (PES) 1122, Asian Disaster Preparedness Center
(ADPC) Bangkok, Thailand, and the National Society for Earthquake Technology, Nepal (NSET) including .
Mr. Amod Dixit, Director of NSET and COP for PEER, ADPC Team led by Mr. NMSE Arambepola, Director,
ADPC, USAID representatives notably Mr. William Berger, Senior Regional Advisor, USAID-OFDA.
Other organizations leading the field of Disaster Management, Preparedness and Response in Islamabad were
also represented at the opening PEER meeting
Review and Outcomes:
The CPM was co-organized by NSET / ADPC and NDMA and featured an opening ceremony with all key
stakeholders and partners as well as representatives from Donor agencies USAID. The ceremony and meeting
was for the launching of PEER 3 in Pakistan – extending PEER-ADPC objectives on HOPE and CADRE. This
was an opportunity to discuss the different roles and responsibilities of Partners agencies in running PEER 3.
There were presentations from ADPC, NSET, NDMA, PES 1122, other agencies, followed by extensive
discussion throughout the one-day meeting on challenges, systems, opportunities for partnership, funding,
sustainability of PEER courses in Pakistan. The PEER program in Pakistan received support and endorsement
from Ministers, Officials and representatives from NDMA, USAID-OFDA, ADPC, NSET and other keynote
speakers.
Discussions centered on national adaptation for CADRE taking into account existing community-based
programs and possible linking of these services for better implementation like the Flood Emergency
Management Training (ADPC).It was agreed that there needs to be strong cooperation ties with National
Agencies through partnership agreements before national implementation. The National Committee on Disaster
Management designated as focal agency in PEER implementation in Pakistan. ALL disaster–related initiatives,
projects, programs, organizations and agencies operate under the NDMA Islamabad, with their awareness and
support. The meeting was an opportunity to share experience in Disaster Response from Pakistan and plan for
better management of future disasters.
The PEER Program has been operational in Pakistan since 2006, with NDMA support, providing trainings to
enhance the capacity of professional disaster responders for Medical First Response and Collapsed Structure
Search & Rescue, and Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies (HOPE). For this new phase of PEER,
operational until 2014, CADRE will be rolled out, to supplement the significant capacity building and trainings
already being implemented by the NDMA and other organizations in Pakistan.
Signing of the partnership agreement with NDMA also took place, as well as the identification of focal person
for coordination and communication for HOPE/CADRE.
Key discussions and agreements from the bilateral meeting on HOPE and CADRE were discussed at the
National Committee on Disaster Management in several meetings on 6-7 July 2010.Bilateral meetings followed,
Meeting with key institution involved in the program and discussion of plans, strategies for PEER 3
Implementation. There was a bilateral meeting for HOPE with Pakistan Institute or Medical Sciences (PIMS)
and for CADRE with Pakistan Red Crescent Society.
Please see ANNEX 2 for PEER Communications from Pakistan CPM – including Press Release issued in
coordination with NDMA – which reached Pakistani print news media in Islamabad, and National /
International online news agencies. Please also see PEER website for more on PEER in Pakistan (articles,
news, partner information and pictures etc.)
Bilateral meeting with Pakistan Red Crescent:
Discussions took place with Director of Pakistan Red Crescent Airforce General retired – Muhammed Ateeb
Siddiqui as well as other members of the training teams. Discussion centered on the following:
Recapping on the letter of commitment from PRCS about PEER which was received before the program
commenced the 3rd
stage, in 2008 this was signed by the Secretary General in 2008
Emphasis that in Pakistan work must be conducted through the NDMA as the coordinating institution
PRCS will comprise the leading participants in CADRE in Pakistan – and perform the role of Lead
Agency.
Lead agency means leading and developing CADRE into and gaining support for CADRE involvement
and adaptation at Chapter and Community level. PRCS will select participants and develop trainers in
line with their current practices, and involve CADRE modules and training – including ToT.
PRCS will link the new aspect of CADRE trainings to existing CBDRR initiatives where existing, at
every level
Where there is already a program in CBDRR running, CADRE materials and modules will be used to
supplement this.
CADRE is only a small part of the many programs running; this is very focused –focused on direct
action to save lives – so it works well to complement existing long-term trainings in first aid etc.
PRCS has a very good relationship with NDMA, since they are affiliated to Government – any
nomination goes first to NDMA. This is a benefit, because there is strong backing from NDMA to
mobilize at provincial and National level, yet the processes at NDMA may cause delays in processing
invitations and information.
Therefore it was suggested that any invitations for trainings, or procedural matters should be processed
as protocol through NDMA, yet at the same time cc‟d to PRCS focal point, which will speed matters, as
soon as the actions are agreed from NDMA.
NDMA will need to be involved in all stages of the training ongoing – e.g. for the first CADRE basic
course, it was suggested that participants should be drawn from within NDMA, as well as PRCS.
The relationship with PRCS and NDMA is such that they are at the same time are equal partners and
collaborators, therefore this mode of cooperative operation will be the most effective.
CADRE will help support the areas of training from PRCS which are currently les strong, and help to
fill some gaps in community training especially in the area of search and rescue.
A CBDRR manual is already developed so there is a need to review this document and guidelines which
are in the pipeline. We can utilize and develop the curriculum guidelines , to potentially develop an
integrated and common manual
There is a concern to avoid „re-inventing‟ CBDRR through CADRE in Pakistan – yet this is at no time
the objective of CADRE. There is a need for CADRE materials to fill some gaps and augment existing
trainings, and training processes which are currently being developed.
For the Pilot testing in Pakistan – the suggestion from Director PRCS is that we invite people involved
in development of the renewed training materials, as well a potential CADRE instructors – and get their
feedback in a course adaptation as part of the basic pilot course.
There is also a willingness to involve some participants from PES1122 (another private, yet highly
structured and important EMS service in Pakistan, also participated in CMP at NDMA) etc – then there
will be the opportunity to review and amend the CADRE materials, ahead of implementing the Pakistan
adapted version, through the lead agency of the PRCS.
There was mutual understanding that CADRE materials are already Regionally contextualized, but there
is a need to collaborate on modifications for National Implementation – and PRCS stated their
commitment to fully support this process at a Pakistan national level
PRCS already have strength in Community based hazard and First Aid. These training materials used
for these aspects were developed through IRCS in Geneva, and are now running training courses in two
districts in Pakistan. CADRE materials can augment this, but mainly the national adaptation for
CADRE in Pakistan will involve the „new‟ elements – which are basic SAR and Mass Casualty
Management
This means that CADRE does not replicate or duplicate existing trainings, but supplements them with
the e focus on light search and rescue etc. In addition, the course is focussed more on practice and less
on theory and classroom learning.
Agreement was reached that there needs to be involvement of the involve fire dept and rescue services,
as well as some level of involvement with other organisations. To this end there is a need to develop and
identify collaborating organisations, as well as potential pilot communities he which can be provided
with training and response equipment.
Rescue (PES) 1122 are currently being trained from PRCS, so there is good collaboration and
interaction here
Communities are already undertaking some DRR – communities they are already sensitized to the need
of further training and skills.
There was definite agreement that trainers should be located and sourced from PRCS – and led /
developed from here.
There is a need to develop MOU between ADPC and PRCS and NDMA (3-way) for collaboration on
training, equipment and support. The NDMA needs to be „in the loop‟ at all times – as their central
coordinating role – so a tri-partite NDMA / PRCS / ADPC agreement is sought
Following a Pilot Volunteer Emergency Response Training Program in the Provinces, there are
Provincial teams in emergency response in Karachi, Peshawar, Lahore, and Quetta and a few other
cities which are volunteer based.
45 are trained in Karachi, 45 in Peshawar, 20 in Karachi, 20 in Musaffarabad as well as other cities. In
total there are approximately 250 trained between 2008-2010. Currently this is the final year of the pilot
project training. Hence this was considered a good time to integrate CADRE and follow through on the
pilot findings through setting up CADRE Volunteer emergency Responders and Trainers. The learning
should be developed, and this opportunity enhanced and maximised.
After the brief pilot 2008-2010, there is the need to expand to the district level –to plug the gaps –
These branches are capable of First Aid and ER program
CADRE
11) CADRE National Pilot Course – Da Nang, Vietnam 16-19 August 2010
Opening Ceremony- Da Nang Vietnam:
Present: Participants: 24 participants from Vietnam National Red Cross
Participants in the Vietnam CADRE Pilot Course came to Da Nang from the following provinces; Quang Nam,
Hai Phong, Phi Tho, Quang Ngai, Phu Yen, Hue, Quang Ninh, Quang Binh, Thanh Hoa, Thai Binh, Quand Tu,
Nam Dinh, and Nghe An.
The basic Pilot CADRE course gave the knowledge for the participants to be able to take the training into their
own communities. The Pilot Course also functioned as the basic training for the first set of potential instructors
for CADRE. Their involvement in the CADRE Adaptation Workshop following the basic training also means
they have „ownership‟ and a high awareness of the materials. The pilot course was a necessary forerunner to the
ToT training for VRCS representatives – to take the adapted training materials to communities throughout the
country, through the development of CADRE instructors and support from the PEER.
The CADRE course opening ceremony took place on Monday 16 August at the Bien Dong Resort, Tho Quang
Ward, Son Tra District, Da Nang. Distinguished Guests were present at the opening event, including Mr. Doan
Van Thai, Vice President & Secretary, VNRC, Mr. Phan Nhu Ngla, Chairman Da Nang Red Cross, Mr. Brian
Heidel, Regional Advisor USAID Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA), and Ms. Rebecca
Scheurer, Senior Regional Advisor, ARC as well as Dr. Marilyn Go, Team Leader, Public Health in Emergency
Team, ADPC, and Mr. Loy Rego, Chief of Party, PEER and Director ADPC.
Please see ANNEX 2 for PEER Communications from Da Nang CADRE – including Press Release issued
in coordination with VNRC and IFRC in Vietnam – which reached Vietnam print news media and
National / International online news agencies. Please also see PEER website for more on PEER in
Vietnam (articles, news, partner information and many pictures etc.)
Narrative Review and Outcomes
Course coordination was carried out in Da Nang ahead of the beginning of the course. Instructors for the
duration of the course were introduced, as well as finalization of the schedule and time allotment for each lesson
was consolidated, in two days before the arrival of the Participants. Instructors for the Vietnam National Pilot
Course were sourced from the pool of master instructors from the Philippines, since there are currently no
instructors in CADRE in Vietnam, as this is the first course. Subsequent courses will be led / co-facilitated by
VNRC representatives.
Time was allocated to addressing all remaining logistical needs ahead of the commencement of the courses such
as training materials, reference materials and equipment, venue set up, accommodation requirements for
instructors and participants, facilities, transportation of instructors and participants, registration, opening and
closing program. Discussion was undertaken on lesson assignments and practical station assignments.
This CADRE Pilot course was an opportunity for all the participants coming from 15 local chapters, the reps
from the German RC and ARC in country, as well as the VNRC Da Nang and HQ, and Mr. Dao of the
Federation, to closely analyze the learning objectives, all modules, the methodologies and the outcomes of the
Regional Pilot CADRE Materials. This was done through practical experience of the three-day basic course,
followed by a one-day adaptation workshop.
The PEER team at ADPC had previously done baseline work on VNRC materials, and the CADRE
Development Workshop in BKK in January. The advantage of this was that we could anticipate the training
needs which would emerge from the experience of the course. This included review of many materials on
community based training in existence in Vietnam, all community-based and VNRC staff training manuals and
participant‟s booklets, to give a full picture of what is being used or has previously been used.
This supplements the work undertaken with overviewing in-country materials from all PEER RCNS in the
CADRE Course Development Workshop, to understand well as the specific Vietnamese context of community
disaster preparedness, including IFRC strategy guidelines, as well as National documents, directives and plans
from the Ministry of Health, central government plans for the disaster preparedness for people in communes etc.
There is still much baseline work to do here, but collaboratively, the PEER team and our VNRC colleagues are
bringing all this together, and this is a substantive base.
There are many strengths as well as gaps and challenges with the existing trainings on offer. Our hope was that
rather than directing participants by pointing out the any training needs, the participants could experience the
training, and therefore understand fully the gaps and challenges of their existing materials and curriculums. By
this means, the VNRC participants become actively involved in the training, and work collaboratively to
develop the materials to exactly match their needs. The end result, by this methodology, is a total enhancement
of their existing materials - developed in a fully participatory way at the grassroots and national level in-country.
This process was followed in Da Nang, and despite some initial reticence that they were already familiar with
all training aspects, they became sensitized to the additional aspect of CADRE, and became fully convinced that
CADRE will be of great benefit towards meeting the objectives and goals of VNRC. The Vietnam National
CADRE Curriculum Development workshop – for one day after the basic trainings was an opportunity to
analyze the materials and hone them step-by-step for national use.
The outline of these adaptations are summarized in the next section of this report
Summary
The level of engagement from participants and observers in Vietnam National Pilot Course was excellent, and
the group was committed to developing a list of adaptation recommendations, through group discussion. Some
of the additional elements which were entirely new from CADRE included the SAR training, the Fire and Water
safety, the simulation exercises and CSSR aspects. In addition, the general brief and thorough course content
and scheduling , ADPC course organization and training methodologies of CADRE course were praised, and
shown to be a major step forward in VNRC experience of community training.
Another aspect of existing trainings in VNRC - also emerging as a gap and challenge - in that the course
materials which do exist are often developed for the training of RC volunteers, and are to a more professional
and advanced level. Some of the courses materials are developed but not widely implemented, and not current.
There are obvious gaps in that many of the aspects integral to CADRE are not covered in any current training.
The PEER team in Da Nang had the opportunity to fully discuss all aspects of the CADRE course with Mr. Tao
(IFRC). This was again opportunity in Adaptation Workshop and bilateral discussions throughout this course, to
gain an even better understanding of ways to streamline CADRE into IFRC plans and policy in the
area of disaster response and community training. The PEER team at ADPC has developed our comprehensive
record of IFRC materials in-country, for the purposes of identifying gaps where CADRE can support their
programs.
At the closing ceremony there were strong messages of support and collaboration from Mr. Trang VNRC, Mr.
Nghia Da Nang RC, and Mr. Tao IFRC. They were full of support and endorsement, pointing out that CADRE
is a key link in the chain to help make our communities safer – also stating that the federation can improve
IFRC existing materials and undertake these modules. Mr. Tao also expressed his commitment to exploring the
opportunities of CADRE and integrating it into IFRC national and regional strategies.
The next stage in the CADRE Course Adaptation Strategy will be to work on assimilating comprehensive
learning from Vietnam. Please see a synthesis in brief of some of the workshop outcomes below:

Key Challenges and Next Steps:
In Vietnam the translation of the CADRE materials has been a challenge, and the materials have needed to be re-
ordered and retranslated following the course, since many of the nuances were lost in the original translation. This
process has been aided by the support of the Vietnam ADPC country office. Initial reticence existed about CADRE
from IFRC national representatives in Vietnam, due to concerns about replication and duplication. This has been
overcome following the experiences of observing the course, and the opportunity to discuss the module s and the
full course in detail. Next steps include integrating all the necessary changes in the CADRE curriculum as
developed during the CADRE National Adaptation Workshop.
COURSE:
Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies (HOPE)
Dates: July 12-14 2010
Location: Dustira Hospital Cimahi Jl. Dustira No 1. Cimahi, West Java, Indonesia Participants: 33 Participants were medical professionals, mostly from West Java, with several from Bontang-
Borneo Island and Bangka Belitung-Sumatera Island, which have links with Dustira Hospital.
118 Emergency Ambulance Service Foundation in collaboration with The Indonesian Hospital Association &
Indonesia Surgeons Association with the support of ADPC conducted The Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies
Course in Cimahi, West Java, Indonesia.
The objective of the course is to build capacity for hospital directors & managers, indicating that their
responsibilities are not only medical care buy also hospital functions and systems. HOPE shows how every hospital
must have a hospital disaster plan which is a requirement of hospital accreditation by The Indonesian Ministry of
Health.
Narrative Review and Outcomes:
The Opening ceremony was held by Dr Mustikowati Director General of Medical Services Indonesia Ministry
of Health & Hospital Director of Dustira. The Dustira Hospital was the lead organization to invite participants
from West Java, in coordination with West Java Municipal Health Office.
There was a planning and logistics meeting on11 July 2010 at Aquilla Hotel Bandung to discuss agenda details
and participants. The formats of this course included Class Presentations, Lectures, Group Discussions and
Table Top exercises. Reference materials were provided to participants as supplemental materials including CD,
handout & work book in Bahasa translation.
HOPE Instructors were selected who could contribute various background experiences to enhance this program,
including Hospital Directors & Managers, Emergency & Disaster Experts, Senior Surgeons, Earthquake
Engineer with experience in Disaster Management. The use of established and well known instructors for HOPE
was also an asset. Instructors were highly dedicated and experienced in disaster scenarios. They interacted with
participants during class lectures, answered questions, evaluated activities, and provided feedback.
The other major strength during this HOPE course was the usage of Bahasa as the teaching language, with slides
and materials. This increased efficiency and understanding. HOPE course in Indonesia is accredited by The
Indonesian Doctors Association. Most of participants were enthusiastic and satisfied with the course. However
there were issues with discipline on the time table and time-keeping.
Challenges and learnings:
The distance between the venue and the hotel where the Instructors / Trainers were based was quite far
– leading to lengthy journeys and wasted time.
The size of the class room was ideal for presentations, but more room is needed for exercises.
The participants asked soft copy of slide materials, which required print out of many PowerPoint
presentations. The Training Materials (books, references) were given to the participants and they said it
was useful.
The coordination between the local committee and the 118 EAS personnel‟s ran smoothly. However,
there were still some challenges with coordination with local committees for faculty members /
participants accommodation.
Timekeeping was a challenge, and start times had to be adjusted to fit with participants‟ requirements.
Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies (HOPE)
Dates: 24-26 September 2010
Location: Jl. Hotel Sulthan, Banda Aceh, Indonesia
Participants: The participants in this course came from the Provincial Health Office and from the 23 hospitals
across the province of Banda Aceh, Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam Province – with MOH inviting 2 people from
each hospital. Most of participants are responsible for developing their respective Hospital Disaster
Preparedness Plans.
For more information on this course, AGD 118 and HOPE in Indonesia, please see PEER Website:
http://www.adpc.net/blog/?tag=indonesia
The Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies (HOPE) course took place in Aceh, helping to prepare local hospital
staff for emergencies and multi-hazard disasters in this notoriously disaster-prone coastal region. The course
took place at the Sulthan Hotel, Banda Aceh, Indonesia from 24-26 September 2010 under the HOPE Partial
Funding Assistance Program (PFAP). The opening ceremony was conducted by Dr A. Yani Head of Municipal
Head Office of Nanggroe Ache Darussalam.
Ambulans Gawat Darurat (AGD) 118 Emergency Ambulance Service Foundation (based Jakarta) took the lead
for this course in facilitation and provision of Instructors, and implementing the course with the coordination
and support of ADPC. Once known as Ambulan 118, AGD 118 was reestablished in 2006 and its operation was
taken over by the Jakarta Health Office. Since its beginning in 1973, AGD 118 remains crucial to community
pre-hospital emergency care. AGD 118 is a longstanding PEER partner in Indonesia.
The lead Focal Agency for HOPE in Indonesia is the Ministry of Health Republic of Indonesia (Kementarian
Kesehatan Republik Indonesia); Official endorsement also came from the Indonesian Hospital Association and
Indonesian Surgeons Association. The HOPE course has been adopted by the Indonesian Ministry of Health,
Indonesia Hospital Association and Indonesia Surgeons Association. MHO of Aceh functions as key lead
organization and invited participants from throughout Aceh. The Indonesian –adapted HOPE curriculum is the
Indonesian National HOPE course, adapted from the Asia Regional HOPE course.
A planning meeting was held for Instructors on 23 September 2010 at Sate Restaurant, Banda Aceh to discuss
agenda details and participants‟ requirements as well as normal procedural and scheduling matters as well as
logistics, coordination, presentations and communications.
The course was funded under PEER, with co-funding under the Partial Assistance Funding (PFAP - Partial
Funding Assistance Program for HOPE) coming from B Braun Medical Company & TAG International
Development UK.
Co-funder B Braun is a Pharmaceutical International Corporation and multinational medical company, one of
the world´s leading healthcare corporations. B. Braun manufactures and distributes pharmaceuticals on a global
basis, employing more than 38,000 people worldwide. B. Braun supported the provision of the training kits such
as bags and notes books, pen, etc from the Pharmaceutical Division, given to support the training program. They
have also expressed interest in potentially supporting HOPE courses in other PEER countries where funding is
being sought to train hospital staff in vulnerable districts.
TAG Development International is a UK-based NGO supported primarily by the UK-based Jewish community.
UK-based TAG ID are also willing to support future HOPE courses in Indonesia, and other potential areas of
need are Padang, Bali and the provinces of East Indonesia which includes the conflict-affected area of Papua.
TAG ID have also indicated they may be interested in partial assistance funding for supporting HOPE courses in
Bangladesh and Pakistan.
This course was conducted in Bahasa Indonesia language. The participants were very active in every exercise
and activity. The participants were divided into 3 groups for daily presentations, representing the lessons learned
in the day before, every morning before the class began. In the Evacuation Exercise, there were 3 groups who
had different emergency and disaster scenario cases: fire, flood and earthquake affecting the hospital. There
were 2 groups for the final tabletop exercise dealing with mass casualties. The first scenario was an aircraft
accident inside the airport and the other is outside the airport. In particular for this exercise, the plans developed
should be 2-parts; pre-hospital phase and hospital phase. In the pre-hospital phase they must describe their
coordination with the rescue teams and security which are in charge at the airport, the Fire Services, and also the
other hospitals around the site. The point in this exercise is to hone skills in Management Support & Medical
Support. Most of the Hospital Directors/Managers are not experienced in planning for Management Support to
deal with Mass Casualties.
Review and Outcomes:
Full support was forthcoming from MHO of Aceh and the opening ceremony was conducted by Head of MHO.
Bahasa was used in all training including slides and materials.
The Head of MOH Aceh is very supportive of enhancing Hospital preparedness and disaster preparedness
systems and working towards the provision of an Integrated Emergency Medical Services System (IEMSS)
alongside‟ The Safe Community Program‟ running in Banda Aceh. The PEER / 118 team had several meeting
with him and his staff to discuss further about this program and integration with ongoing priorities and
programs. Significantly, agreement was made to have CADRE program as part of PEER Program in Banda
Aceh – targeting ambulance drivers, Scouts and Palang Merah Indonesia (PMI) Volunteers soon this year. This
is a major step forward in the integrated approach of safer communities under PEER.
Issues / Challenges The discipline of the participants was a major factor on this course. In Aceh they normally start the activities at
9 am, and they were reluctant to change this principle and begin earlier. In additional courses, it would be better
to schedule for a 9am start until 6pm.
Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies (HOPE)
Dates: 14-17 September 2010
Location: Park Village Resort Hotel, Budhanilkantha, Kathmandu, Nepal Participants: 24 participants from Kathmandu Valley Hospitals, 1 participant from NSET, Pradeep
Vaidya, Dept. of Surgery, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH), Chairman, HOPE TUTH
Committee, (Coordinator and Focal Point for HOPE Nepal), Mr John Abo, DCOP PEER / ADPC
Review and outcomes:
The first HOPE Course in Nepal was held in Kathmandu partnership with Institute of Medicine and WHO
Country Office in Nepal. The course took place in Nepal from 14-17 September 2010 - attended by 24 students
from different hospitals in and around Kathmandu and one from NSET, Kathmandu.
Of these 24 students, 16 were women – which is almost 70%. This is a significant achievement for HOPE under
PEER requirements and indicators for targeting women trainees and training up women instructors for PEER.
WHO and Institute of Medicine provided the majority of the funds to conduct the course, with PEER providing
support with instructors and course components.
The opening ceremony was conducted on the first day. The Secretary of Ministry of Health and Population, was
the chief guest and there were guests from Joint Secretary of MOHP, representative from EDPC, WHO, ADPC,
and NSET. The Secretary promised to put HOPE course in the MOHP budget, which would increase capacity to
conduct HOPE regularly.
Preparation for the HOPE Course in Kathmandu started more than a month ahead, including fixing of the venue
according to the HOPE standards. This hotel is suitable as it is not too far in case of any emergencies back in
participants‟ hospitals, and it is not too near the city that the participants might absent themselves from some
modules.
Selecting Instructors and obtaining consent was a challenge. Most HOPE instructors are very busy people with
high posts. Committing time to training can be very difficult. Six full instructors and two assistant instructors
were chosen and they all gave their consent.
Among the six instructors, one was an engineer and the other a nurse, 4 were doctors. The two assistant
instructors were both doctors. One instructor was also a monitor for the course, instructors and participants and
ensure adherence to the HOPE / PEER international standards. One instructor acted as a coordinator and all the
other had various duties beside their primary job of presenting / instructing modules.
Participant selection involved identifying institutions and requesting for participants. Twenty-four participants
joined from 13 different institutions. Most of them are the Hospital Policy Makers as per HOPE Guidelines,
with the following participants: -3 Assist Matron, 1 – Medical Director, 1 – Deputy Director, Senior
Supervisors, etc. There were 16 females and 8 males.
This course was unique because this time we also had two participants from the Tribhuvan International Airport
(Kathmandu‟s only international airport). One was the deputy director of the medical assistance team of the
airport. Also in attendance were senior staff from the Specialism Hospitals like the Neurological Center. This to
bring awareness for disaster preparedness to these Specialism Clinics and Hospitals.
John Abo, Deputy Chief or Party from ADPC, was invited to observe the course as representing the agency
implementing and conducting the HOPE course in the nine PEER countries.
The course went well. Evaluation included pre-testing, which showed low-awareness scores. The post-test
indicated much higher awareness. All the participants actively participated and commented on the accessibility
and team work of the instructors.
After each day the instructors met for more than one hour to review the day‟s training, the participants‟
feedback and plan tomorrow‟s program. An exercise was given as a homework on the third day, in which all the
participants had to work into the night. The instructors were also there to guide and support them.
On completion of modules and lectures, there was a simulated disaster drill. This was not „planned‟ in the
agenda, so the participants had to immediately prepare to respond. This helped them recall and review all the
knowledge they had acquired. Immediately after the completion of the course, the instructors had a meeting and
reviewed the day‟s program and also chose the likely candidate for future instructors who could be invited for
Training for Instructors.
Outcomes of the HOPE Course Kathmandu:
Training 24 participants in Disaster Management
Awareness to develop the Hospital Disaster Plan and conduct Drills / Simulations
Networking between Kathmandu Hospitals and other EMS services, including the Airport Medical
Assistance Team
Commitment from MOHP to put HOPE course in the budget
Commitment from WHO to help conduct more courses with ADPC coordination
Selection of Candidates as future Nepal HOPE Instructors
Participants in HOPE Nepal gained an understanding of multi-hazard disaster risk management and
preparedness, as well as hazard analysis, patterns of injury, structural and non-structural components, mass
casualty management, epidemics and infections, triage, risk communication, Preparedness Planning, Incident
Command Systems, amongst other key areas. Participants were encouraged to complete a Hospital Preparedness
Plan for their medical facility, covering multi-hazard components, involving pre-disaster, -during and post-
disaster phase. The practical and applied methods of training mean that everyone actively participates in their
learning. This is always a successful and engaging aspect of HOPE.
HOPE has received major commitment in Nepal, with the support of the coordinator Dr Pradeep Vaidya. There
has been allocation made and logistics are being put in place for 10 HOPE courses under PFAP for Nepal
(2010-2014) and support for developing Model Health Facilities - one from each (National, provisional and
district) - depending on the specific hospital that will be recommended following a review process.
Other matters ongoing involving coordination on the HOPE training roll-out in Nepal include developing
more successful case studies for HOPE, developing analysis framework for training implementation and
impact, dissemination of smaller scale training and format approaches in hospital e.g. simple adaptations to
the wider curriculum.
In the context of Nepal, there is a need to consider some incentives to attend trainings and hold simulations
etc. This is being reviewed. There is also necessity to find further funding streams for Promoting a
Hospital Emergency Incident Command Systems, and gain support for Developing „Model Hospitals, as
well as metropolitan and provincial plans to disseminate the triage system throughout Nepal
Dr Vaidya and the PEER team are looking at ways to undertake the process of setting up workshops for
hospitals to review their emergency plans, and looking into forming processes for standardisation and
monitoring for plans / drills / simulations with accreditation. There needs to be a framework and calendar
for periodic review of plans, with standardised external observers. Another consideration is the
development of a national HOPE committee / membership organisation, and the options to become
involved with existing conventions and conferences. In terms of PFAP, ADPC / Dr Vaidya are looking at
options for Pharmaceutical funding, which could lead into the possible development of a sponsored HOPE
conference in Nepal
III. PROGRESS OF THE PROGRAM FOR THIS REPORTING PERIOD
The courses in Vietnam, Nepal and Indonesia are all documented on the PEER website

SEE ANNEX 2 FOR SAMPLE OF COMMUNICATIONS ON PEER WEBSITE AND EXTERNAL
MEDIA PRESS RELEASES
1. Program schedule: Planned vs. actual achievements Activities for this reporting period are in line with the Annual Work Plans.
Please see Annex 1 for financial reporting.
2. Current Accomplishments and Challenges:
PEER team will highlight the significant accomplishments and challenges of this Reporting Quarter – followed
by the matrix of accomplishments / challenges country-by-country.
Accomplishments:
1) Liaison with IFRC regarding uptake of CADRE in RC/RCNS:
Successful meetings were held during this Reporting Quarter, with Patrick Fox IFRC Head of DM Unit, SEA, and
Michael Annear IFRC Asia Pacific Head of Disaster Management Unit, led by Mr. Loy Rego with Mr. John Abo
and the PEER Team. These meetings happened with full support and facilitation of ARC (Ms Rebecca Scheurer_
who continues to partner with us supportively on building the CADRE network.
PEER team met with Michael Annear, to discuss PEER.
The meetings were aimed at addressing challenges for PEER, including discussion of different countries‟ CBDRR
initiatives, and the need for in-country adaptation of CADRE and module adaptation. These challenges are being
taken into account by PEER team. CADRE Development Process was also discussed and communicated to facilitate
understanding. Please see ANNEX 1 for CADRE Development Process Chart.
This meeting followed on from other opportunities which have previously been taken to build the awareness of
CADRE and the potential for integration and collaboration with existing or long-standing international and national
programs with IFRC:
The PEER team also met with Nguyen Hung Ha, Programme Manager DIPECHO DRR, and Mr. John Roche
Regional Disaster Management Coordinator. They expressed their support in the curriculum development and
agreed that there are gaps and inconsistencies regionally in the current RCNC modules – which CADRE can help.
IFRC delegates were invited to the CADRE Curriculum Development Workshop in BKK Jan 2010. Mr.
Selvaratnam Sunnadurai – IFRC Country Rep. Philippines was present for opening day of Regional Pilot Workshop
in Manila, March 2010 – also present for full duration of the Workshop were Andrea Tracy, Regional Advisor,
USAID, OFDA, and Ramsey A. Rayyis Regional Rep, ARC.
Considerable effort has been ongoing this Quarter to fully inform IFRC Senior Personnel about CADRE
and the main goals and objectives of the program – which essentially are to be inclusive and involve NRCS
in all aspects. As well as inviting IFRC representatives to the CADRE course in Da Nang, and involving
IFRC in the course adaptation workshop,
The following key aspects were addressed in particular during meetings this Quarter with Patrick Fox and
Michael Annear:
Strengthening Collaboration
Throughout the past year in developing community response capacity, our foremost objective remains to „add
value‟ through partnership and collaboration, to trainings already taking place through Red Cross National
Societies (RCNS), and other organizations – in each PEER country. PEER is a program to „enhance response
capacity‟; it does not seek to replace or substitute ongoing processes. The goal is to support and contribute to the
extensive and valuable trainings offered through the vast outreach and experience of Red Cross National
Societies, and work with them. ADPC recognizes the need to continually seek better involvement and closer
collaboration. The program receives constant mentoring and strong support at every level from ARC, regionally
and in the US.
ARC are involved in all aspects of CADRE planning and institutionalization, and at every level have supported
the introduction f CADRE to National Societies, and elicited backing from IFRC – knowing the benefits of
Federation support.
PEER team at ADPC welcome all support IFRC can bring to this process. During this reporting quarter, the
team also welcomed Patrick Fox to visit the ADPC office in October, where the team was able for focus on
PEER / CADRE in very positive and proactive discussions, where Patrick Fox gave his backing and support.
ADPC-PEER Team Partnership Approach
ADPC-PEER team aims to be instrumental in the process of developing community-based response capacity
through enhancing training modules, which meet the exact requirements in each PEER country. This is an
ongoing process of consultation and requires flexibility and careful consideration. CADRE can be a very useful
tool for the systematic development of community-training enhancements for disaster response, and this is our
objective. IFRC representative‟s engagement can further assist with the analysis and alignment of training
requirements in each PEER country.
ADPC will continue to consult with ICRC representatives, particularly in regards to the dead body management
component in various countries for PEER – as this issue is particularly culturally, legally and socially diverse
within Asian country contexts. ADPC will continue to specifically invite IFRC personnel to attend the trainings
and scheduled activities, and the PEER team are sending an open invitation for IFRC to all workshops and
trainings / adaptation and development meetings. Full details of all upcoming activities are on PEER website,
and we have a monthly e-newsletter which also indicates our upcoming activities.
We are in total agreement that there is the opportunity here for RCNS to develop community-focused response
capacity. It is also a chance for RCRC to work towards standardizing approaches, guides and training in the
Asia region and it is our objective to undertake this in a participatory way
2) Collaboration with NSET:
ADPC and NSET as collaborating partners implementing PEER are working together in several key aspects.
These include:
i) PEER Database and information gathering
ii) PEER Instructor development
iii) Partnership building
i) The PEER Database:
An accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date PEER Database co-managed and co-owned by NSET and ADPC as
an example of organizational collaboration in PEER 3, will ensure that ADPC and NSET can effectively
oversee and coordinate all program processes for PEER Stage 3, as well as evaluate and monitor the Program
effectively with key statistics and data. The PEER 1-3 database provides the basis for the following PEER
activities which are ongoing and forthcoming:
Accurate information gathering and dissemination
Locating opportunities for networking and collaboration
Evaluating PEER trainings and trainees
Communicating with PEER trainees
Maintaining PEER trainees‟ skills
All process of Monitoring and Evaluating PEER Stage 3
PEER Database –Background:
A PEER database with information from PEER 1 and 2 is currently hosted by NSET, with full cooperation and
collaboration with ADPC. During 1AWP, PEER team worked on the basis for collaboration on the database. An
MOU is being developed (at time of writing 2AWP) which will fully agree the sharing of all PEER information
and data, and outline the processes of working together with NSET on all updating, amending and training
related to the database and its use.
The database contains the following PEER information:
Data on PEER trained individuals and PEER associated organisations; includes name, title, country,
agency/organisation/etc, mobile number, email address, address (often organisation) - in most cases
On the database it is possible to search via the following options: course, person, country, nodal agency,
partner agency, dates, region, address, funding (full / national / self) etc.
Different security settings are possible with the database, with different levels of user access granted to:
delete / add / update / view
Database Management:
The database information will from this Quarter onwards be shared on a 2-agency basis (NSET and
ADPC), ADPC PEER Team with ADPC taking the lead on CADRE and HOPE activities in 6
countries and NSET maintaining the information related to their projects alone
Amends are being undertaken during this reporting quarter, on the amends needed to the PEER database
in order to make it usable for PEER 3. These will be finalised in December 2010.
o Addition of three more countries for PEER 3:
o Addition of an „alert feature‟ to indicate when a course graduate is coming up for a refresher
course (three-years on from initial course)
o Additional information on CADRE course development – database fields required for CADRE
as well as HOPE to make the database comprehensive for PEER 3
o Increased ability to search accurately by city or local region – with the benefit that in the event
of a disaster / emergency, it would be possible to identify which trainees
/communities/organisations may be involved or impacted
Database Training:
Maintaining and updating the PEER Database requires the close participation of ADPC and NSET to plan and
manage the trainings, as well as PEER Country Coordinators, Trainers [as appropriate] and the PEER Teams.
PEER Instructor development:
Instructor development and maintenance and renewal is a key aspect of PEER which relies on ADPC and NSET
working closely together to maximize all the work of PEER in developing Instructors. The process for all PEER
courses is the same; with basic course, followed by TFI and Instructors course, after which there is a process of
mentoring and development before a Trainer can lead a course. The PEER instructors are valuable commodities,
and both ADPC and NSET draw on this pool of qualified instructors to train new participants. For CADRE,
instructors also utilized by NSET for CSSR and MFR are utilized to train in more basic skills in the CADRE
course. This means that they are very highly skilled in these areas, but also benefit from being able to translate
their training skills and adapt to the new training.
Therefore there is a strong need for inter-agency collaboration of ADPC and NSET to ensure these instructors
are kept within PEER network, and receive appropriate support and development. In the period of this report, an
Instructor review Workshop for CSSR and MFR is planned for July 2010 in Bangkok – in which CADRE TM
and the PEER team from ADPC will be involved. Several of the instructors to take part in this. Some of the
instructors work in country of origin, but where necessary (such as where there are no local or national
Instructors yet trained) these instructors can also be deployed regionally, to lead and support CADRE trainings.
For example, Instructors from the Philippines will be deployed in Vietnam to lead and support trainings, until
Vietnam has instructors developed nationally.
Partnership building:
ADPC and NSET also work closely together on many aspects of Partnership Development and Networking.
CADRE, MFR and CSSR may use the same national partners for implementing courses. Similarly, ADPC and
NSET have worked together with all national partners at several Country Planning Meetings for PEER 3. An
example is in Indonesia, where both ADPC and NSET work with the emergency responders at Ambulan 118,
for CSSR, MFR, and CADRE. In Pakistan also there are many examples of national partners which have shared
work with NSET and ADPC. The maintenance of the accurate and up-to-date database for ADPC and NSET of
all PEER partners, instructors, stakeholders, participants and collaborations is necessary in order to avoid
duplication of effort, and to maximize resources at the ground level. Wherever possible and appropriate, ADPC
and NSET coordinate on in-country meetings and training activities, to maximize efforts, and share information.
It is also important to note that ADPC and NSET also are collaborating intensively surrounding CADRE
implementation in Nepal. NSET already has a community-based response initiative called Pre-Position
Emergency Rescue Stores (P-PERS). This important initiative from NSET involves positioning of emergency
light search and rescue stores at key points around the Kathmandu Valley, where they can be immediately
utilized in the event of a disaster or emergency.
ADPC and NSET are working in collaboration on CADRE and P-PERS, by training 2 members of the P-PERS
organizational team from NSET in the forthcoming CADRE basic course – thereby maximizing the
opportunities of the CADRE training, bringing in further resources, and providing the opportunity for CADRE
to be taken up by NSET in their own training of community responders in the usage of these key equipment
stores.
Next steps to address challenges:
Priorities for the nest reporting quarter include increasing collaboration with NSET in these program
management, information resourcing, and program implementation aspects. In addition there will be ongoing
work to promote ownership of CADRE in RCNS, as well as at the same time opening CADRE participation up
to other organizations to widen the outreach and promote increasing institutionalization of CADRE in-country.
Strategies are being considered for maintaining the clear RCNS ownership and involvement, whilst also
allowing materials to be utilized outside RCNS, include adherence to strong branding (use of RCNS and ARC
logo on materials for wider use), utilizing RCNS personnel as monitor and instructors (where possible /
appropriate), and the involvement of RCNS volunteers in the courses conducted by other agencies (where
possible / appropriate).
All these matters need to be broadly discussed in the process of the next quarter. Key factors for discussion on
this issue, are; maintaining accurate and appropriate Acknowledgements on all curriculum materials, setting
guidelines in place for use, reserving the right to audit and monitor courses for PEER standards and other safety
and security standards and keeping informed of all activities other organizations are involved in the PEER.
There is a growing demand and interest on CADRE in all PEER countries, from various partners and
collaborative organizations, for increasing involvement and sense of ownership. This is a great achievement for
the awareness raises being done about CADRE, and the strength of the materials and the concept of community
capacity building through the three-day course. But this enthusiasm and demand for involvement also brings
increasing challenges. These need to be planned for and addressed during the forthcoming reporting quarter,
In order to meet the growing demands, there may be an increasing need for further resources for CADRE –
which may include staff and funds. These developmental aspect s of the program are being broached in
discussions with ARC, by providing a list of potential valuable areas for program expansion, in the event of the
necessary funding becoming available. ADPC is also planning to engage our staff to be trained as CADRE
instructors to augment the current manpower of PEER.
Summary of PEER country-by-country accomplishments and challenges for this quarter (July-Sept 2010)

Accomplishments Challenges
Bangladesh The Bangladesh Fire Service was tasked by
MOFDM to initiate a training program for
Community Volunteers with an expected 62,000
participants potentially taking part.
ADPC office in Bangladesh are fully briefed and
supportive to the PEER program in Bangladesh,
with translation of materials, logistics, country
coordinators etc
Planning continues for CADRE National Pilot
Course in Dhaka in November or December 2010
PEER team is following up on all partner
agreement details with Deputy Secretary Sadeque
of MoFDM and BRCS.
CADRE training materials were used in conducting
community emergency response training in
Logistical issues are difficult to manage
in Bangladesh. The PEER team are
supporting BRCS to plan CADRE –
although finding suitable locations /
venues for trainings, and the lack of
existing clear emergency processes on
which to develop are causing delays.
The CADRE course requires plenty of
space for break-outs and activities, as
well as a safe, secure environment for
all participants and activities.
There needs to be access to caches of
equipment, reliable power supply,
catering facilities etc.
Ongoing discussions being held over the
specific needs of Bangladesh for
Jamalpur, Bangladesh under the PROMISE Project
funded by USAID
CADRE training materials are being utilized in a
new set of Training of Trainers modules being
developed by ADPC – here the three-day basic
CADRE course will be incorporated into an
extended course to be rolled out in Bangladesh
Initial discussion with NIPSOM Director initiated
together with the assistance of Dr. Zahidur Rahman
in continuing NIPSOM as the implementing
institution of HOPE in Bangladesh under the partial
funding assistance program.
CADRE training processes with all
stakeholders. Planning for venue of
training and equipment needs has been
difficult:
Initially the BRCS seemed to reject the
training venue of the Bangladesh Fire
Service and Civil Defense – in favor of
their own chosen training location.
There needs to be some clarity about
whether the BRCS is unwilling to
utilize this better equipped and more
conducive training venue, whether they
are unable to operate here, or whether
they want to use their own facilities.
This could be a communications
problem, or a lack of cooperation
between BRCS and Fire Service. This is
still unclear – but the PEER team is
working towards finding a suitable
training venue.
There have been challenges in getting
the MOU signed by the BRCS. The key
contact at BRCS has now been re-
assigned to Pakistan for response
purposes. This has proved a set-back in
supporting PEER / CADRE at BRCS.
Currently NIPSOM has difficulty
securing counterpart resources to
implement HOPE under PFAP.
The priority of HOPE is to conduct
HOPE-TFI to address the attrition rate
of HOPE instructors in the country.
Cambodia The ADPC country office can offer ongoing
support to PEER.
Translation of training package to Khmer is
completed – with the support of ADPC office in
Cambodia.
Review and scoping of CRC available course
materials in Disaster response. There is nothing
specifically in CRC for training community
members.
HOPE National Pilot Course is scheduled on 20-23
December followed by an adaptation Workshop on
24 December. Preparation is in collaboration with
Preventive Medicine Department of MOH
Cambodia
Currently CRCS does not have any
training related to SAR and MCI in
which CADRE can contribute
There are challenges locating suitable
premises for conducting CADRE
courses in Cambodia, with logistical
and equipment supply challenges.
PEER team looking into possibilities of
locating a centralized training for
instructors in CADRE in Bangkok for
Cambodia, Laos PDR and Vietnam
(where previously there was no PEER
prior to 2009). This will involve more
expense upfront – but may be necessary
to commence the training program here.

Translation of materials planned for after the
National Pilot Course in end 2010 – this will come
after the pilot course - the translation will be
needed subsequently when the CADRE course
extends to community level.
Four potential instructors are already identified
from Basarnas, Ambulan 118 and PMI.
During national adaptation – possibility discussed
of renaming CADRE as part of national adaptation
– to give PMI a sense of ownership – this is
welcomed in the strategy of CADRE
implementation.
Secretary General Mr. Iyang Sukandar
of PMI initially showed full support to
CADRE and originally designated Mr.
Ujang Dede Lesmana, a PEER graduate,
to be the focal person for CADRE.
(subsequently resigned)
There have been some procedural
coordination issues during emergency
response identified; the military are
being prioritized during deployment to
disaster area, despite their lack of
training in Collapsed Structure Search
and Rescue during Padang Response.
By contrast, Ambulan 118 staff is
trained and ready to provide CSSR, but
they can be sidelined by the army. This
may be a challenge to overcome when
working to institutionalize PEER.
Change in PMI leadership (Secretary
General Iyang Sukandar resignation)
and subsequent resignation of Dr. Dede
Lesmana from PMI who was initially
appointed the focal person of PEER in

This is a new country for PEER – so
there are no existing PEER instructors.
This means that instructors need to be
brought into Vietnam from Philippines

Press Release – For Immediate Release 17 August 2010
SUPPORT FOR COMMUNITIES IN VIETNAM TO RESPOND TO DISASTERS
Community-level disaster responders readily available in the event of a disaster or emergency – that‟s the
vision of a new Community Action for Disaster Response course (CADRE), being trialed in Da Nang, Vietnam
16-18 August 2010.
PRESS, BROADCAST AND ONLINE MEDIA ARE INVITED TO ATTEND THIS EVENT ON
WEDNESDAY 18 AUGUST 2010, TO VIEW A MULTI-HAZARD DISASTER RESPONSE SCENARIO
EXERCISE FOR REPORTING PURPOSES
Vietnam is highly prone to floods and other natural disasters, which impact directly at the provincial and local
level. Communities here are often on their own, without outside assistance, immediately after a disaster. The
three-day CADRE training aims to skill-up community members in Vietnam, to effectively respond to floods,
landslides, typhoons, other disastrous events. During this trial course, the key elements which are vital to
community needs in Vietnam will be identified. The purpose is to enhance community level disaster response
training from the Vietnam National Red Cross (VNRC) and other NGOs and community-based associations.
Support for this training is coming from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and
American Red Cross (ARC). Participants in CADRE learn the basics of medical first response, and collapsed
structure search and rescue, through practical exercises and disaster simulations. By the end of the course, they
are able to assess hazards, manage mass casualties, rescue people trapped under collapsed buildings, and
conduct water rescue for victims of flooding.
The CADRE course in Vietnam received strong support from senior officials at the opening ceremony on
Monday, 16 August at the Bien Dong Resort, Tho Quang Ward, Son Tra District, Da Nang.
Mr. Doan Van Thai, Vice President & Secretary, Vietnam National Red Cross (VNRC) said: “CADRE is a
special course, which will enhance the disaster response work of VNRC. This is also an opportunity to share the
skills and knowledge of VNRC with our international supporters. We come here for the benefit of all our
communities, to share these vital skills across Vietnam.”
Mr. Phan Nhu Ngla, Chairman Da Nang Red Cross said: “We are very happy to welcome CADRE here in
Vietnam, to enhance community response capacity in this extremely disaster-propone area of Vietnam. We are
working hard with many community groups to enhance disaster response. This is appreciated by local people
and local government.”
Mr. Brian Heidel, Regional Advisor, USAID Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) said:
“USAID-OFDA thanks VNRC and ADPC for coordinating this important community based training. This
partnership brings together people in localities, and in regional disaster management, to take on the challenges
of disasters here. The response to Hurricane Ketsana showed great advances in disaster preparedness and
management in Vietnam. We are now committed to building this experience.”
Ms. Rebecca Scheurer, Senior Regional Advisor, ARC said: “VNRC has been working for many years to
make communities safer and ARC is a strong supporter of these activities within the Red Cross Movement. This
is an opportunity to enhance their capacity to develop first responders, working to save lives when disasters
occur.”
Dr. Marilyn Go, Team Leader, Public Health in Emergency Team, ADPC said: “ADPC is proud to work in
partnership with ARC, USAID and VNRC, with the ultimate goal that every community can effectively respond
to disasters. Immediately after a disaster, communities are often on their own – this is an opportunity to prepare
to respond!”
Mr. Loy Rego, Chief of Party, PEER and Director ADPC said: “We work in partnership with Governments
in Asia and ten Red Cross National Societies, enhancing capacity to prepare for disasters. This is a long-term
US-Asia collaboration, with the strong support of the American people and the American Government. We wish
all participants success in their preparedness efforts.”
Twenty-four participants are joining the CADRE Pilot Course, from VNRC in Quang Nam, Hai Phong, Phi
Tho, Quang Ngai, Phu Yen, Hue, Quang Ninh, Quang Binh, Thanh Hoa, Thai Binh, Quand Tu, Nam Dinh, and
Nghe An. Also present are representatives from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent
Societies, the German Red Cross, and American Red Cross (ARC), to support the process of building
community level capacity. Course instructors are from the Philippine Bureau of Fire Protection and the
Philippine Red Cross, with many years of experience in Medical First Response, Community Search and Rescue
and Disaster Management. Training is coordinated by the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC), as part
of the Program for Enhancement of Emergency Response (PEER) a regional training program initiated in 1998
by the U.S. Agency for International Development‟s, Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance
(USAID/OFDA) strengthening disaster response capacities in nine countries in Asia.

ADPC: Established in 1986 at the initiatives of three UN agencies – WMO, UNDP and UNOCHA,
ADPC supports the advancement of safer communities and sustainable development, through
implementing programs and projects that reduce the impact of disasters upon countries and
communities in Asia and the Pacific. With more than 100 staffs from 20 different countries, ADPC‟s
activities cover four thematic areas: Climate Risk Management (CRM), Disaster Management System
(DMS), Public Health in Emergencies (PHE), and Urban Disaster Risk Management (UDRM). ADPC
also provides 20 regional training courses.
Prime Minister’s Secretariat, Islamabad: The management of disasters and emergencies in Pakistan was
enhanced today, as the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), Pakistan, hosted a gathering
of International organizations, Government Departments, Civil Society Organizations, NGOs,
Emergency Services and other agencies working in Disaster Preparedness and Management. This was an
opportunity to share experience from Pakistan and plan for better management of future disasters.
The meeting was the launch event for a new phase in the Program for Enhancement of Emergency Response
(PEER); an Asia-wide regional program, operational in nine countries and funded by United States Agency for
International Development (USAID), with supplemental support from American Red Cross (ARC).
Present at the event were representatives from NDMA, USAID –OFDA, Pakistan Red Crescent National
Society, Pakistan Institute of Medical Science (PIMS), Pakistan Emergency Services (PES) 1122, Asian
Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) Bangkok, Thailand, and the National Society for Earthquake Technology,
Nepal (NSET) amongst other organizations leading the field of Disaster Management, Preparedness and
Response.
The PEER Program has been operational in Pakistan since 2006, with NDMA support, providing trainings to
enhance the capacity of professional disaster responders for Medical First Response and Collapsed Structure
Search & Rescue, and Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies (HOPE). For this new phase of PEER,
operational until 2014, a new training course will be rolled out, to supplement the significant capacity building
and trainings already being implemented by the NDMA and other organizations in Pakistan.
The new course is the Community Action for Disaster Response (CADRE), which will consolidate and enhance
community level response capabilities, so they are enabled to support themselves, and increase survival rates in
the event of any disaster or hazard. The PEER program in Pakistan received support and endorsement from
Ministers, Officials and representatives from NDMA, USAID-OFDA, ADPC, NSET and other keynote
speakers.
Lt. General Nadeem Ahmed R, Chairman of NDMA welcomed all representatives. He said: “The PEER
program is of crucial importance to Pakistan. After the devastating earthquake in 2005, we were at a loss how to
respond. Now, the Government of Pakistan has stepped up capacity to strengthen the response mechanisms
throughout Pakistan, by building capacity at many levels of disaster preparedness and management. We are now
working proactively with programs like PEER to better prepare, when before we could only respond after
disaster happened. We still need to enhance all levels of preparedness, especially in communities. We also need
to work on collaboration between different Disaster Preparedness and Response agencies to make the Disaster
Preparedness system more robust.”
Representatives from the two PEER implementing organizations – ADPC and NSET - working in partnership
on PEER with the backing of the NDMA – also introduced PEER. Mr. Amod Dixit, Director of NSET and
COP for PEER said: “We work to optimize the effect of PEER and promote collaboration, building a stronger
and more sustainable PEER Program.” Mr. NMSE Arambepola, Director, ADPC, said; “ADPC is committed
to promoting disaster preparedness in Pakistan. We have longstanding Programs here and Pakistan has
important experiences in disaster management to share with the Asia region.”
Mr. William Berger, Senior Regional Advisor, USAID-OFDA said; “It is a privilege to work with valued
partners in Pakistan, to support the building of capacity in disaster response. PEER uses best practice learning
methodologies, with the highest standards of training and instructor development. PEER fits well into the big
picture of Disaster Management in Pakistan, built on the experience of disasters here, and the experience of
ADPC and NSET.
