Institutional Response to Emergencies and Disasters (IRED) 2017
|
The second edition of the Institutional Response to Emergencies and Disasters has been revised to meet the evolving needs of Member States, the lessons learned from recent disasters and health emergencies; the new structure of PAHO’s Health Emergencies Department; and the WHO reform. Importantly, this edition aims to further improve PAHO’s operations by giving broader authority and autonomy to the Incident Management System (IMS), while taking into account current PAHO, WHO, and U.N. policies, and particularly the World Health Organization’s Emergency Response Framework (ERF). |
