Disaster Preparedness and Response

Disaster Preparedness and Response

ERCS’ strategic approach focuses on proactive, collaborative preparedness and response over the next five years. Through implementing community-based early warning systems ERCS will mitigate the impact of multiple hazards. By combining local knowledge with technology, ERCS aims to empower communities to anticipate and respond to disasters. ERCS also aims to lead national anticipatory action initiatives in partnership with like-minded organizations to share resources, expertise, best practices and building community resilience. In summary, ERCS strategic objectives aim to create a disaster preparedness and response framework that addresses immediate humanitarian needs.
