  1. WatSan ERU Meeting – Steyr, Austria - October, 2005 Overview and concept for “New” Mass Sanitation Module

  2. 6Recognised Emergency WatSan Needs (SPHERE 2004) • Hygiene promotion • Water supply • Excreta disposal • Vector control • Solid waste management • Drainage

  3. Water, Sanitation & Hygiene Promotion (SPHERE 2004) • The main objective of water supply and sanitation programmes in disasters is to reduce the transmission of faeco-oral diseases and exposure to disease-bearing vectors. • Simply providing sufficient water and sanitation facilities on their own does not ensure their optimal use or impact on public health. • In order to achieve the maximum benefit from a response, it is imperative to ensure that disaster-affected people have the necessary information, knowledge and understanding to prevent water- and sanitation-related disease.

  4. Conclusions: • We need to be able to address the wholeproblem • We are very good at water supply but less effective on Sanitation and even less so on Hygiene Promotion • Revision and improvement of Mass Sanitation Module an opportunity to address the above weaknesses

  5. Framework Concept – New Mass Sanitation Module (MSM) • Present design remains as standard until new MSM developed and tested • MSM will be designed to be ‘stand-alone’ if need be, or deployable with other modules depending on operational context • MSM will need technical inputs/design changes and expanded human resource ‘pool’

  6. Key Technical Components - MSM • ‘rapid-latrine’ for immediate use • ‘software’ package and IEC materials • media/communications capacity • Vehicle/team equipment component • Materials/equipment review (vector, latrine construction, waste management)

  7. Key Human Components - MSM • Minimum 3 member team - Team Leader, ‘software’ specialist, ‘hardware’ specialist • Gender balanced • New Training package with participation from ONS partners and volunteers • Linkages to FACT, RDRT/RITS and NDRT • Monitoring and evaluation component
