EMERGENCY

 

Emergency management is the biggest portfolio in ADRA South Sudan as the country has been through a long phase of protracted conflict and a number of other natural and man-made disasters. The sector focuses on establishing and strengthening an emergency management unit to prepare and respond to emergencies using best practices and international standards. Community managed Disaster Risk Reduction is a key activity to prepare and mitigate the effects of hazards. Coordination is a key strategy for emergency preparedness and response. The sector focuses on ADRA SS generating her own funds to address emergencies when and where they occur in the country.
