IntroductionThe Purpose of this Trainers’ Pack is to support the work of the Facilitators of the 2-days “Training of ERP Facilitators” (ToF). The IASC Task Team on Preparedness and Resilience (TTPR) is planning 6 ToFs during the first semester of 2015. This Trainers’ Pack is based on the Inception Report, submitted by the consultant on 26-2-15 and revised on 9-3-15 and on 10-4-15 based on consultations with the IASC TTPR Training Review Committee (TRC). The members of the Training Review Committee are: John Long, UNOCHA Maguette Ndiaye, UNICEF, Andreas Wuestenberg, WFP, Guillaume Simonian, WHO, and Jens Hesemann, UNHCR.This Trainers’ Pack is based on the draft IASC Emergency Response for Preparedness Guidance (December 2014 version). The spirit of the Training is to make as much time as possible to allow participants to share their own experiences in preparedness and contingency planning.The Training was tested in Amman on 2-3 June 2015 by John Long, OCHA, Lucia Teoli, HCR, and the Consultant, Beatrice Progida. II. Overall Goal and ConditionsERP Facilitators acquire the knowledge and skills required to facilitate the implementation of the IASC ERP Approach in any specific national or sub-national context. In order to achieve this goal the training should be:1. Tailored to fill the specific learning needs of the trainees so that they can adapt the ERP Approach to the specific humanitarian dimensions of each national context. 2. Targeting ERP Facilitators who have the appropriate mandate and country-level legitimacy to facilitate the implementation of the ERP Approach at national and at subnational level (where appropriate). 3. In line with point 2, targeting facilitators coming from countries where the Resident Coordinator/Humanitarian Coordinator as well as a “critical mass” of Agency Representatives are fully committed to implement and sustain the ERP. III. Participant profileRegional OCHA staff and staff from IASC agencies at mid- and senior level with experience in emergency preparedness and contingency planning. Participants’ agencies must ensure availability of participant be to support the ERP roll-out in at least 2 countries within their region upon successful completion of the training.OCHA staff and staff from IASC agencies with experience in emergency preparedness and contingency planning based in countries where the HCT (or equivalent) is ready and willing to implement the ERP approachIV. Participants’ performance objective All participants are able to define the strategy for and facilitate the implementation of the ERP approach. V. Learning objectivesWorking towards the overall goal and the participants’ performance objective, the Training covers 6 specific learning objectives, each covered by a module. ModuleObjectives: By the end of the workshop, participants are able to:1. The ERP approach and its role in preparedness planningExplain the fundamental components of an effective and sustainable ERP approach.2. Risk Analysis and MonitoringDemonstrate ability to facilitate the implementation of the 4 steps of the Risk Analysis and Monitoring Process. 3. Minimum Preparedness Actions (MPAs)Explain the basic steps needed to facilitate the identification, implementation and maintenance of MPAs in a specific national context.4. Advanced Preparedness Actions (APAs) and Contingency PlanningExplain the basic steps needed to facilitate the identification, implementation and maintenance of risk-specific APAs in a specific national context. Demonstrate the ability to facilitate a contingency planning process and to support the HCT to identify and address preparedness gaps5. Evaluation and CloseShare plans for regional and country roll-outsRequest and access adequate technical support for the ERP roll-out Provide feedback on ToF and ERP materials for country roll-outVI. Training teamAt least 2 HQ/Regional facilitators as convenors, possibly with extensive experience in preparedness planning and in facilitating ToFs. A good understanding of the region covered by the ToF is an asset.For the pilot: Consultant - manages the pedagogic process: adaptation of the training pack to the context, evaluation/reporting, re-shaping the package based on user-feedback.

Session resourcesSelf-Assessment Form Ppt on Workshop briefing0930-1130 - Module 1: The ERP approach and its role in preparedness planningLearning objectivesParticipants demonstrate the ability to create the conditions to launch and sustain an effective ERP Approach in their Country through:Understanding inter-agency commitments and how apply which tool/guidance in different risk settings: the Transformative Agenda, the Common Framework for Preparedness, CADRI, the PPRE and their connections with the ERP ApproachWhy transitioning from the 2007 Contingency Planning Guidelines to the ERPUnderstanding which ERP component to use when (MPAs, always; imminent high risk – APAs, CP)Advocating for full engagement of the HC/RC and key HCT Agencies/NGOs/IFRC and clusters (where activated) Involving key National Partners to pave the way for the implementation the ERP Approach at National level (led by the Government) and linking the ERP with national frameworks/plansInvolving key technical partners and donors at local and international level in risk assessment and to support the full implementation of the MPAs and APAs.Key messagesThe CFP and ERP are part of the Transformative Agenda: the CFP focuses on inter-agency cooperation for Government capacity development, the ERP focuses on inter-agency preparedness. The two are linkedCADRI and ERP are connected but have a different scope. PPRE applies to refugee situations.ERP: an operational inter-agency guidance, replacing the 2007 IASC Contingency Planning Guidelines. CFP: focuses on national ownership. ERP is a RC/HC accountability and is binding to the HCT.ERP focuses on inter-agency preparedness, but in many cases it should provide entry points to national preparedness planning and capacity building. ERP is intended to provide a practical and flexible approach to response planning that can be tailored to meet the country context and capacity.Early involvement of partners/donors pays back Outline of contentGlobal commitments for preparedness 50%CADRI, CFP, ERP, PPRE.

However, an overall review should be carried out at least once a yearSeasonal, evolving and static hazards require different monitoring systems Different types of hazards require different planning processes (i.e. refugee situations: PPRE)Tipping points in risk escalation must be linked to RC/HC commitment to trigger action on the part of the HCT and partners Monitoring risks requires a standing professional capacity, risk monitoring mechanism either centralized in one Agency/Entity, or diversified depending on the hazard being monitored.Outline of contentRisk identification - 15%The 5 threat categories: natural hazards, armed conflict/civil unrest, epidemics/pandemics, drastic changes in the socio-economic environment, environmental hazardsRanking Hazards- 20%How to run a successful risk ranking exercise using the 5 by 5 toolIdentifying indicators and tipping points - 30%How to develop solid monitoring indicators (reference to Annex 2) Reaching an agreement on who will monitor top risks tipping pointsEstablishing a Monitoring System – 35%Identifying different mechanisms for Seasonal, Evolving and Static hazards.Session resources:PPTsInject for group work (same as inject for MPA exercise)1330: Energizer – from chaos to orderTiming : 2 - 5 minutes Materials : Masking tape or similar Instructions : Arrange 2 lines of tape on the floor, on opposite sides of the meeting room, one parallel to the other. Divide participants in 2 groups giving each one a 1 and a 2 and then asking number 1s to stand on one side of the room etc (to ensure that groups have the same number of members). Ask each group to stand on their line all facing the other group. Ask them to arrange themselves in alphabetical (first name) order without stepping off the line. Variation: You can also ask the group to arrange themselves according to:?Height?Shoe size ?Birthday?Kilometres travelled to venue The group that finishes the line first wins.Tip: To demonstrate non-verbal communication, you could ask the group to arrange themselves without speaking. 1515-1730 - Module 3: Minimum Preparedness ActionsLearning objectivesParticipants demonstrate the ability to facilitate the development of MPAs. Specifically, participants:Understand that the MPAs focus on the basic steps to improve inter-agency response providing a minimum level of preparedness for all types of hazardsAre familiar with the MPA structure and the use of the “key questions” to assess gaps in regard to inter-agency preparedness.Are familiar with the different sub-categories of the MPAs and know how to use MPAs flexibly to fit particular country contexts Are able to support countries on how to record and monitor MPAs implementationKey messagesMPAs are a collective effort by all key humanitarian partners. Their sustainability depends from inter-agency commitment and standing technical capacityMPAs should be regularly re-assessed, and cyclical investments will be needed to maintain themThe “key questions” should be used as a capacity gap assessment tool, which guides collective prioritization of MPAs.A work plan and a tracking system for MPAs is needed.Outline of contentContext and Gap analysis and prioritization 50%Using the key questions in the ERP Guidance and the list of MPAs as a checklistFacilitating prioritization, what’s first?

The volunteer is the detective. She/he must leave the room while the murderer is chosen. Ask the rest of the group to close their eyes, explaining that you, the trainer, will choose a murderer by tapping them on the shoulder. When all trainees’ eyes are shut, walk quietly around the group and pick a murderer. Once chosen, call the detective back into the room. The murderer will then have to “kill” other members of the group by winking at them without being spotted by the detective. The detective must observe the group, and try to work out who the winking murderer might be. You may allow the detective up to three guesses to figure out who it might be. 1515-1730- Module 6.

The facilitator needs to cut each card and use as instructed in the facilitator’s notes.Natural process or phenomenon that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental damage. (A natural hazard is an occurrence which may or may not result in a disaster). Corresponding Concept:A serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society involving widespread human, material, economic or environmental losses and impacts, which exceeds the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources. Example: Storms which destroy houses, kill or injure people and damage crops due to winds or flooding. Corresponding Concept:The concept and practice of reducing disaster risks through systematic efforts to analyse and manage the causal factors of disasters, including through reduced exposure to hazards, lessened vulnerability of people and property, wise management of land and the environment, and improved preparedness for adverse events. (ISDR 2009) Corresponding Concept:The outright avoidance of adverse impacts of hazards and related disasters (ISDR 2009).Corresponding Concept:The lessening or limitation of the adverse impacts of hazards and related disasters. Comment: The adverse impacts of hazards often cannot be prevented fully, but their scale or severity can be substantially lessened by various strategies and actions (ISDR 2009). Corresponding Concept:The knowledge and capacities developed by governments, professional response and recovery organizations, communities and individuals to effectively anticipate, respond to, and recover from, the impacts of likely, imminent or current hazard events or conditions. (ISDR 2009). Corresponding Concept:The provision of assistance or intervention during or immediately after a disaster to meet the life preservation and basic subsistence needs of those people affected. (ISDR 2007 in Disaster Preparedness for Effective Response, 2008). Corresponding Concept:The restoration, and improvement where appropriate, of facilities, livelihoods and living conditions of disaster-affected communities, including efforts to reduce disaster risk factors.

Fictional Country ProfileSocialist Republic of Klanndestan – Country Profile(Last updated March 2015)BackgroundThe area of present-day Socialist Republic of Klanndestan was conquered by the Russian Empire by 1920. Klanndestan achieved independence in 1991 upon dissolution of the USSR. From 2005 to present, Klanndestan has been gradually liberalizing many of its economic policies and currently adopts an approach of ‘socialism in a market economy’. Engagement with the international community – including UN agencies, NGOs etc – has gradually increased.

The provinces of Elvorsa, Lithan, and Alma, have experienced flooding in four of the last six years. The worse of the flooding occurred in the Province of Elvorsa, which lies on the Caspian Sea, in 2009. At least 65 people were killed and 45,000 left homeless in the floods.On an annual basis there are around 22 flash floods and mudflows per year over the last 5 years.Forest fires and landslidesThe province of Birtestan in the east is particular susceptible to forest fires during the summer months. In 2012 four people were killed and nearly 200 households had to be evacuated. The province also suffers from landslides in the higher areas during the wet autumn period. In 2010 the main highway linking Klanndestan with China was cut off. Two villages with a population of 100 and 150 families respectively were affected. EarthquakesAll the provinces of Klaandestan experience tremors on a regular basis, however these then to be small usually less than 3 on the Richter scale.Industrial AccidentsMass industrialization has led to a number of oil and chemical spills into local rivers and lakes in the main industrial belt around the capital Somabad. The Government appears to be sensitive about international interference in this issue.Regional issuesFighting in northern Afghanistan has forced tens of thousands of the Urude people to flee into neighbouring countries. An estimated 50,000 Urude have fled into the southern province of Jahaluz over the last years. Jahaluz has a population of is 500,000. The main Urude population live in the Province of Jahaluz. In the early 90s after independence there was a brief Urude independence movement, which was brutally suppressed by the then government.Reports from Kazakhstan suggest that there is a growing Urude independence movement there. There has been a spate of terror attacks and small skirmishes with the Kazak army. Kazakhstan has the second highest number of Urude refugees from Afghanistan. There have also been calls for establishing an independent Urude state in the region.HCT Preparedness Status Annex 6.

Under pressure the government of Klaandestan entered into dialogue with the ULF yesterday. As a result a temporary truce has been negotiated. Sources within the military and civil society, however, indicate that the truce is unlikely to last for more than five or six weeks. They suggest that both sides will use the time to bring in reinforcements. There have been unconfirmed reports of heavily armed ULF fighters gathering on the Afghanistan border. Reports from NGOs on the ground indicate large numbers of people, mainly from the majority Klannde ethnic group (around 100,000 people) could be affected if the fighting resumes. The HCT has met with the Government and has developed a situation analysis. Based on this analysis the HCT has agreed the following Response Strategy:The humanitarian community will provide immediate relief assistance for up to 100,000 people in the event of displacement if conflict breaks out. This facilitator’s package and the related presentations and exercises have been developed with the generous financial support of :The Government of Germany, German Humanitarian Assistance:The Government of the United Kingdom, Department for International Development: ................
