Crisis Management and Emergency Response in Humanitarian Organisation

This course focused on improving your ability to organise and coordinate effective responses to a humanitarian crisis. Whether the problem is a natural disaster or artificial, the effect on communities can be severe, and often, it often only the skills of people working in the Humanitarian sector which stand between survival and destruction. Both natural and artificial disasters require complex solutions to an often complicated set of circumstances. This course allows Humanitarian Organisation staff to consider their knowledge and skill level. It enables them to be better prepared to cope with these demanding, complex and challenging situations, making life easier for them and the communities struck by a crisis.

 By the end of this course you will be to:

• Recognise the impact of the humanitarian crisis on people and communities
• Understand the life cycle of a crisis
• Describe the factors which lead to the Build Stage of a crisis
• Outline the impact stage of a crisis
• Discuss the actions that need to be taken at this stage.
• Detail the need for a robust supply chain
• Recognise when a crisis evolves to the chronic stage
• State the different actions needed during the chronic stage
• Review how Crises are resolved.
• Undertake how we can learn lessons from each crisis intervention
