FSPI
has received funding from AusAid to commence a Disaster
Preparedness program in conjunction with SOPAC and regional
NGOs. The program will assist countries in their preparation
for national emergencies, by examining existing response
procedures, and implementing processes that will enhance
risk reduction and crisis management capabilities. The program
objective is to establish an operational nexus for times
of crisis that will enable effective coordination between
governments, communities, donors, aid agencies and regional
bodies. It will include the formation of a FSPI Regional
Disaster Coordinating Committee and the first FSPI Regional
Disaster Training Workshop.
