This module focuses on the first two steps of Emergency Response Preparedness (ERP) planning i.e., Step 1. Risk analysis and monitoring and Step 2. Scenario building and needs estimate. 

During this module, we will understand how to review main hazards, rank disaster risks, analyse risk predicting aggravating factors and chain of events that could lead to malnutrition, and define a method to monitor these risks. 

Then, for medium to high disaster risks, we will learn how to develop a short planning scenario and estimate persons in needs (PIN) and key immediate needs.

Learning objectives

By the end of this module, you will be able to:

  • Appreciate how to do risk identification, analysis, and risk ranking based on their likelihood and potential impact.
  • Develop a planning scenario depending on how a potential disaster risk of high gravity could evolve and how to define key planning assumptions such as predicted duration of crisis, geographical locations, affected groups and Nutrition PIN.
