Provision of Safety and Disaster Management Training

After the Beirut blast (Aug. 2021), the DOT Lebanon senior management team identified the need to develop an Organisational Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Plan and an Emergency Preparedness (EP) Plan that will help the senior team and head of units take proactive measures and plan future responses to potential emergencies and to ensure that adequate arrangements are made in anticipation of a crisis especially to their team members and beneficiaries.

In order to formulate the DRR and EP plans several aspects are to be considered: a functioning emergency response management structure, processes to be set in places before and during an emergency, capacity building plan for skills to be acquired, partnerships mapping, business continuity plans, etc.

Some of the deliverables (not limited to the below):  

• Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Plan

• How disasters affect the staff and how the staff can cope with disasters

• Security Training and Office Evacuation

Emergency Response:

• Define the Organisations’ Response Focus and Role
• Resource Mobilization
