The program is designed to address the basic humanitarian and development needs of communities affected by emergencies. It focuses on four key areas: preparedness, response, recovery, and rehabilitation. The ultimate goal of the program is to ensure that communities are better prepared to deal with crises and that their needs are met in a timely and effective manner.

Emergency Preparedness and Response:
This component involves developing plans and procedures to prepare for and respond to emergencies. This includes identifying potential risks and vulnerabilities, establishing early warning systems, developing emergency response plans, and conducting simulations and drills. The goal is to ensure that communities are better equipped to respond to crises and that they have the necessary resources and tools to address immediate needs such as shelter, food, and medical assistance.
-
Recovery and Rehabilitation:
This component focuses on helping communities recover from the impact of emergencies and rebuild their lives. This includes providing assistance in the form of cash transfers, livelihood support, and access to basic services such as water and sanitation. The goal is to help communities restore their livelihoods and rebuild their physical and social infrastructure, with a focus on building back better and increasing resilience to future shocks.
