Pacific Humanitarian Team 3rd Annual Regional Workshop for Humanitarian Assistance in the Pacific 8-10 December PHT regional workshop Introduction to the Pacific Inter-Agency Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan (EPREP)
What we’ve heard from NDMOs: • want to know who is responsible for what in a response • want to know how to trigger international assistance (ie who asks who) • want to know what to expect from the PHT in an emergency response
Who is it for? Regional members of the PHT: -PHT HOO -PHT ICCG -Cluster leads -Cluster members -Donors
Objectives • to guide international “Pacific Humanitarian Team” response if and when governments in the Pacific are overwhelmed by an emergency or disaster; and
Objective 2.to strengthen regional and national preparedness to respond to the range of emergencies that may affect the Pacific.
Trigger for a full-scale “PHT” response In previous PHT regional workshops, members agreed that the PHT should be prepared to respond to the ‘most likely, worst case scenario’, so that all ‘lesser’ disasters would be catered for in our preparedness and response planning

Suggestions for the FINAL EPREP? • Format? • Topics? • Usage? • Does it need to be tailored it to national counterparts? If yes, HOW?
To think about in cluster planning sessions… • Cluster plans from 2009 are included – the outcomes from your planning today will be included in the updated EPREP. What do you want in it? • Think about how you can fill in other sections – resource inventory, operational objectives etc
