Camp Coordination and Camp Management Cluster (CCCM) Operations Protocol

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS

The CCCM Cluster will follow the cluster approach in operations and the field operations will be guided by the information provided by the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Councils. The operation phase is divided into three disaster phases: Pre-disaster, During disaster and Post disaster.

Each member agency has their respective roles and responsibilities per disaster phase. The DSWD as Cluster Lead heads the operation of the cluster and does all the main coordinating function. Coordinate and collaborate with other partners/stakeholders especially with DILG-LGUs to ensure that preparedness for responses is in place.

All activities of the CCCM Cluster aim to assist and augment the affected Local Government units (City/Municipal/Province) and from the Region as well. LGUs must have completed prepositioning activities and such will be the first resources that will be distributed before any augmentation is provided by the higher levels of responding government agencies. LDRRMCs should establish a system of reporting for the inventory of available resources at their disposal and will only submit and request to the next higher level of government when augmentation is required.

Education Cluster Operations Protocol

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS

DepEd issues relevant alerts and advisories to its field offices and cluster members after initial appraisal of the disaster’s scope and impact, including its imminent threat to life and safety, property and disruption of education services. All members inform their respective field personnel assigned in the region to conduct initial/rapid assessment of the affected school and learners.

DepEd coordinates the conduct of needs assessments with member agencies and organizations to avoid duplication of data and optimize the available human resource on the ground. The DepEd Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (DRRMO) is tasked to consolidate the assessment results and submit to DepEd Management for clearance. Upon approval, the DRRMO disseminates the assessment results to NDRRMC, cluster members, and concerned government agencies.

DepEd then activates its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) at the appropriate level. The EOC maintains coordination with and among agencies, especially LDRRMC. The respective district coordinators, division superintendents, and regional directors ensure that all needs related to emergency education services are addressed.

DepEd focal persons continuously collect information on the needs of the different schools under their respective areas, and indicate the interventions being provided.

DepEd focal persons also facilitate the requests for assistance based on assessment results. All requests from the field are augmented by the next higher level office of DepEd and partner organizations. Requests that are beyond the capacity of the Education Cluster are recommended for appeal for international assistance.

The Education Cluster conducts Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) to identify if there are other educational services and personnel needs which have to be addressed; and evaluate practices and note areas for improvement as it sees fit.

Emergency Livelihood Operations Protocol

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS

On orders by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), the DTI shall take lead in the Emergency Livelihood Operations together with the members of the Emergency Livelihood Cluster: DSWD, DOF, DBM, DPWH and OCD, and such other agencies as may be called upon by the DTI as Lead Cluster, will assist the Response Operations by providing economic and finance supports/assistances through available appropriate and suitable measures. Other agencies shall be included based on their responsibilities, duties and mandates related to recommended supports to affected communities.

Cluster Lead and Cluster members shall invoke the supporting system(s) and deploy facilities and equipment immediately after huge earthquake in accordance with the instructions / suggestions by the NDRRMC based on the RDANA.

The supporting and assisting systems to be put into motion shall include but not limited to as follows:

  • Deployment of Rolling Stores

In the affected site(s), other clusters will have started rescue and relief activities to protect and save the social and human lives. In addition to those basic human needs, affected communities have additionally several rights to ensure minimum social security and to access fair and right economic markets. Immediately after huge earthquakes and/or tsunami disaster, most of the markets and stores may not be opened or operated due to the damaging buildings and/or spoiling commodities.

In such case, rolling stores shall be mobilized and operated in the affected site to sell basic goods and lubricants at fair and reasonable prices.

  • Operation of “Cash for Work”

In the affected site(s) immediately after huge earthquakes and/or tsunamis, the economic activities will have become temporarily paralyzed and communities will lose a means of livelihood for a certain period.

In such case, what affected communities really want may not be obtained though they may be supplied with minimum basic needs and service through the activities of other cluster operations of course.

“Cash for Work” is a disaster relief program to be activated in order to provide temporary paid employment to affected communities.

“Cash for Work” will encourage the affected communities to have a sense of pride. Victims can lose their dignity if they are forced to depend on charity from other clusters operations. They hope to restore their lives independently as soon as possible through several early recovery works, such as removing debris, community kitchen in the evacuation centers.

In addition, ensuring work opportunities empowers them with motivation and hope. Working is not only a source of income but also something worth living for and an important opportunity to bond with society for most affected individuals. “Cash for Work” is also one of assistant activities to reboot regional and localized economy.

  • Provision of Emergency Financing Support to reactivate economic activities

Should most of the markets and stores be damaged by the huge earthquake and/or tsunami disaster in the area, the rolling stores would be mobilized and operated in affected area in order to sustain fair values and prices for basic commodities and social economic activities in accordance with the instruction and/or approval of the NDRRMC.

In addition, some markets and stores damaged may be operated again by small financing assistances for purchasing stocks and/or temporary repairs of buildings or spaces.

In such case, the central government shall provide emergency credit to owners of market or store affected by disaster so as to immediately resume the fair economic activities.

  • Others

Through the lessons to be learned in the future, other livelihood activities shall be taken into account.

The operations of Emergency Livelihood Cluster shall be performed in coordination with the designated Incident Commander as well as other national response clusters to ensure synergy effects to being maintained in the area.

The condition/s that will trigger the activation and deployment of personnel, facilities, equipment and financing system on Emergency Livelihood operations will depend on:

  1. a) orders from NDRRMC Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson or from the President; and,
  2. b) the result of the Rapid Damage Assessment and Needs Analysis (RDANA) conducted by LDRRMC concerned in the affected area/s.

Decisive in Emergency Livelihood considerations are the immediate establishment of communications. All activities related to this cluster shall be reported to the NDRRMC.

Emergency Telecommunications Cluster Operations Protocol

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS

As per reference with the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) that intends for strengthening humanitarian response as a preliminary point, the protocol serves as a framework to guide international, national, regional, and down to barangay clusters’ level action in the emergency telecommunication activities. The activation and operationalization of the ETC will be the decision of the NDRRMC and/or the Civil Defense Administrator, OCD. The contexts in which this cluster will operate include large scale acute emergencies, protracted crises, and also in cases where there is no information being received from the affected LGUs/areas.

The ETC response operations are dependent on the volume and quality of information received and provided by government Clusters members. It will be responsible for coordinating the deployment and implementation of communications services and must fulfill the role of “Provider of Last Resort”. It will be the provider of communications, electronics and information system support services. Also, as part of the support response and coordination among clusters, the ETC will initially assess the ICT requirements and provide the means to facilitate the flow of information to and from different sources involved in the response operations.

The services that will be provided in disaster areas by the ETC through the RETT (Rapid Emergency Telecommunications Team) include communication reconnection access to facilitate telecommunications link/connections for response activities between the LGU Emergency Operations Center, Incident Command Posts and the higher levels of government (PDRRMC, RDRRMC, NDRRMC).

The Cluster will provide basic communications support services and shared voice radio network system. The Cluster will dispatch the RETT to the areas cut off from communication in coordination with the Logistics Cluster. The RETT will serve as rapid deployment team that will be the main focal for the Cluster and will mobilize all available assets of the AFP, PNP, BFP and PCG situated or in the vicinity of the affected area to cover all necessary emergency telecommunication requirements. The team will ensure that Cluster Members exchange information and expertise and provide personnel, equipment, system and solutions.

In a prolonged ICT operations in the disaster area, the RETT in partnership with its cluster members, will provide vital IT and telecoms services and prioritize innovation and use of existing information management tools to help humanitarian workers carry out operations efficiently and effectively. The ETC, through the RETT on-ground, will always facilitate communications, collaboration, cooperation, coordination and commitment among Cluster Members in every disaster operations.

Deactivation of the RETT will be upon full normalcy of the telecommunication system services of the affected LGUs as assessed and confirmed by the LCE/LDRRMC. RETT will follow formal hand-over of the ICT responsibility to concerned government unit before RETT returns to Central Office.

NDRRMC’s secured frequencies will be used for response operations to facilitate the coordination requirements of the ETC and other Response Clusters as well. These frequencies will be used solely by the members of the Response Clusters during Disaster operations.

The Cluster will conduct its own post disaster assessment that is internal to the group to identify good practices and areas for improvements.

HEALTH CLUSTER [Health Services (Public Health and Hospitals), Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Nutrition, Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS)]

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS

The DOH Central Office oversees the entire operations and response of the health sector while the Regional Health Office coordinate closely with the LGU and provides technical as well as logistical support as necessary. In the event of a disaster, whose magnitude requires the Regional Health Office to request for assistance, the DOH Central Office together with the unaffected regions will provide necessary and appropriate assistance to the affected LGU. Under the supervision of the Regional Health Office, the DOH retained hospitals provide health services to the affected population. On the other hand, the district hospitals in the affected LGU are under the supervision of the provincial government. In a worst case scenario, where the local and regional health sector is non-functional, DOH Central Office/ non-affected Regional Office will assume operational conter.
