HRF Contingency Plan (HRF CP)
Following the flood responses in 2011 and 2013, humanitarian partners conducted after-action reviews/lessons learned workshops in which one of the key priorities identified was the need for stronger and more comprehensive preparedness, particularly at sector level. Based on this recommendation, the HRF developed a contingency plan. The first HRF contingency plan was adopted during the HRF meeting in February 2014; its development and subsequent updates contributes to more comprehensive emergency preparedness and response coordination among UN, INGOs and international organizations engaged in humanitarian action in Cambodia.
The HRF contingency plan aims to strengthen the collective preparedness of HRF member organizations and complement the National Contingency Plan (NCP) to ensure a better coordinated and effective response in support of people affected by disasters and humanitarian crises. The HRF contingency plan focuses on climate hazards, while other types of shocks, such as conflict or political unrest, are addressed by organizations with a specific, relevant mandate organization.
