INTRODUCTION:

This document is meant to complement the Government of Haiti’s (GoH) Système

National de Gestion des Risques et des Désastres (SNGRD); Saison Cyclonique Plan de

Contingence National (National Contingency Plan for the Cyclonic Season). This is a

compilation of best practices based on a successful experience of a series of Joint Regional

Natural Disaster Seminars conducted in 2011.

BACKGROUND:

Conventionally, the hurricane season in the Atlantic region begins 1 June and ends

30 November. During this period, there is a high probability that Haiti will be on the path of

one or more tropical systems (tropical depression, tropical storm or hurricane). Hence,

there is a need for the Government of Haiti to be properly prepared for these adverse

events.

Each year, the Government of Haiti drafts and implements a National Contingency

Plan that covers the most likely hydro meteorological hazards. Its objective is to ensure

that the organizational and operational capacities of the various entities involved in

emergency preparedness and response in Haiti (Système National de Gestion des Risques et

des Désastres – SNGRD and the Direction de la Protection Civile – DPC) are coordinated and

capable of conducting effective emergency response to critical and catastrophic impacts.

For the 2011 cyclonic season, the Government of Haiti, as first responder in any

natural disaster at regional and national level, invited UN Agencies, Humanitarian partners,

and MINUSTAH to participate in the emergency preparedness and response process by

providing input into their contingency plan. A Joint National Contingency Plan was

therefore designed to reflect a coordinated response to a natural disaster.

In addition and as a complement to the National Contingency Plan, la Direction de la

Protection Civile (DPC) usually conducts national Simulation Exercises. Following the

integrated approach adopted for the 2011 cyclonic season, a large Joint Natural Disaster

Simulation Exercise (SIMEX) was conducted in July 2011 with the participation of UN

agencies and MINUSTAH. One of the lessons learned from the SIMEX was the need for

emergency preparedness seminars to be conducted in the regions, to illustrate the detailed

functions of the joint response system to be activated during an emergency.

3

RATIONALE:

As a follow up to the SIMEX lessons learned on the need for training on emergency

preparedness and response mechanisms, a joint team was created consisting of MINUSTAH

Joint Operations and Tasking Centre (JOTC), UNDP, WFP/Logistics Cluster and MINUSTAH

Military. From August to October 2011, the joint team visited all the regions in order to

conduct seminars on coordination of natural disaster preparation and response. Topics

discussed included:

1. Government of Haiti’s national contingency plan: the strategy of response and the

emergency operation centers Centre d’Operation d’Urgence National (COUN), Centre

d’Operation d’Urgence Departemental (COUD), Centre d’Operation d’Urgence

Communale (COUC) at the national and departmental/regional levels;

2. The humanitarian response to a natural disaster, to include the organization of the

Emergency Joint Operations Centre (EJOINT) as well as integration with the

Government and MINUSTAH at national and regional levels;

3. MINUSTAH operations centers, both during a non-crisis (JOTC processes), and

during a crisis with the activation of the Expanded Joint Operations Centre (EJOC)

and Regional Joint Operations Centre(RJOC);

4. MINUSTAH Military response to a natural disaster and regional coordination with

MINUSTAH’s CROs;

5. Strategy and role of the Logistics Cluster during emergencies and WFP emergency

preparedness and response activities in the regions;

6. Lessons learned from the SIMEX 2011 and Tropical Storms/Hurricanes.

Each presentation topic was followed by a Question and Answer (Q&A) session,

where participants were given the opportunity to make comments and share best practices

from their regions. MINUSTAH’s Chief of the Regional Offices (CROs) and the Humanitarian

Focal Points (OCHA or other appointed UN agencies) were the main points of contact for

coordinating the initiative in each region. They were requested to arrange an appropriate

venue, invite all partners to include UN agencies, DPC representatives in the area,

MINUSTAH representatives (Civilian, Military, UN Police, etc), and humanitarian partners.

Local representatives from the DPC and other national authorities were present in most of

4

the sessions and contributed to the explanation of emergency response mechanisms to be

activated at the local level. In addition, the joint team prepared a concept note on the

rationale of the Joint Regional Natural Disaster Seminars that was shared with the DPC at

national level (see Annex C).

2011 CYCLONIC SEASON

JOINT REGIONAL NATURAL DISASTER SEMINARS

MAIN FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

� Briefing participants welcomed the explanation of coordination mechanisms and emergency operation centers to be activated at central level (Port-au-Prince) in

case of emergencies (COUN - Cellule Technique - EJOINT/EJOC). In most

departments some humanitarian actors (UN agencies and NGOs), government

representatives and MINUSTAH personnel were not aware of the new systems put

in place to face the 2011 cyclonic season.

� At local level the activation of the regional emergency operation centers (RJOC,

COUD, COUC) was reported to be functioning well in most of the departments

visited. In Artibonite, in relation to the activation of MINUSTAH's Regional Joint

Operations Center (RJOC), it was highlighted that the Chief of the Regional Office

(CRO) has the autonomy to activate the RJOC, especially if this is done in

coordination with the activation of the DPC's Centre d’Operation d’Urgence

Departmental (COUD). This is in line with the principle that any crisis should be

dealt with first at department level with resources available locally. If the crisis is of

such magnitude that it cannot be handled at department level (or more departments

are affected), then the emergency operation centers at central level (i.e. EJOC, COUN

and EJOINT) might also be activated. The CRO in Gonaives highlighted that, for

example, for Tropical Storm “Emily” the RJOC was activated before the Expanded

Joint Operation Center (EJOC) in Port-au-Prince.

� During the visits, many actors felt that there should be a stronger decentralization

of decision making processes. Actors felt they need to be empowered to take

action/decision without formal approval from the central level. This observation

was raised by humanitarian actors as well as by Government representatives at

communal and department level.

� Overall, there was a very good representation of departmental authorities (DPC

and Government representatives) at the briefings. However, it would have been a

great opportunity to have more local actors (maires/casecs) around the table to

focus on local issues during disasters. In particular, the lack of local authorities at

the briefing in the Centre Department is indicative of the fact that relations with

them in this department might need to be improved. This was confirmed during the

visit by MINUSTAH CRO, who indicated that often authorities at communal level

(maire) prefer to contact the DPC in Port-au-Prince directly regarding activities or

specific needs, rather than inform partners at department level.

� The JOTC process to request MINUSTAH assistance in support of humanitarian

activities was clarified in detail in different departments (Grand Anse, Sud Est,

Artibonite). It was explained that humanitarian partners need to submit requests

6

through the Humanitarian Focal Point in the department for validation and

prioritization. Then the request is passed on to MINUSTAH (through the CRO) for

approval of the request and the delivery of the support. If MINUSTAH's resources at

local level are not enough to complete the request, then this is submitted to the JOTC

in Port-au-Prince for further evaluation and processing. The importance of using

MINUSTAH assets on the basis of the “last resort” criteria was also reiterated. The

need to always keep MINUSTAH CRO informed about requests, especially if these

involve the use of key and expensive resources, like special flights, was also

highlighted. There have been occasions where the lack of information sharing

between central and department level has led to duplication of efforts and

conflicting information.

� During the visits, much interest was shown in relation to MINUSTAH’s Military

Fragmentary Orders (FRAGO 002/004/005), related to the detachment of units

and the additional authorisation vested in the AOR Commander. It was explained

that FRAGO 004 refers to operations in the vicinity of Port-au-Prince whereas

FRAGO 005 refers to operations outside Port-au-Prince, organized around the CROs

and RJOCs. Both of these FRAGOs include two important concepts, namely “OPCON”

and the relationship between the CRO and the Battalion Commander during a

natural disaster. Under the OPCON concept, the Battalion Commander has the

authority to task military components with what to achieve. The military

component commanders then decide how they will achieve it. While the military

chain of command remains unchanged and direct tasking from the Force

Commander always takes precedence, Battalion Commanders have the authority to act on CRO requests without the need for a direct Tasking Order from the Force Commander.

� Information Management/flow during a crisis was perceived in some

departments as an aspect to be improved. In Gonaives for example, it was noted that

during an emergency the frequency of the reporting requested by the central level is

sometimes too tight to allow the regional office to collect all the necessary

information from the field. It was also noted that all RJOCs need email accounts that

all participants can access as information can get lost during the shift system if

emails are not being received by everyone in the RJOC. Information flow between

the RJOC and the COUD was reported to be working well in the majority of

departments. In the South Department, the joint mission suggested to strengthen

dialogue among all the actors present in the department with more regular

coordination meetings and discussion forums.

� In some departments radio communication represents a challenge (North and

Centre). Sometimes this is due to difficulties in radio communication between the

DPC, Humanitarian Community and MINUSTAH (in the North department there is

no COMCEN to relay the information among the two different systems). Overall,

there is a lack of satellite phones for the DPC in all the departments.

7

� More clarity in terms of shelter management (opening/managing and closing the

shelters) was felt to be needed in some departments (North and Artibonite).

� The need for engineering repair works was highlighted in some departments

(North, South, Grand Anse). MINUSTAH military representatives of the joint

delegation explained that since there are currently only limited engineering assets

available, and that Ready Deployment Engineering Units (RDEUs) have to be

coordinated in centralised areas throughout the country, it is not possible to have an

RDEU deployed in all departments.

� The need and importance of conducting joint natural disaster exercises where all

participants can work through problems in a simulated environment to test

procedures and lines of communications was expressed in all departments. The

recommendation of the delegation is to have two national simulation exercises

(April and July) to be conducted in the Departments which have not been yet the

subject of these exercises (Grand Anse, North, South). Regional/local joint natural

disaster exercises should also be conducted in coordination with the Regional

Natural Disaster Seminars.

� Overall, the visits represented the opportunity to network and exchange contact details with key actors at local level. These visits are instrumental in strengthening

information flow between the central and department levels and address

concerns/questions on Emergency Preparedness and Response.

TECHNICAL ISSSUES:

� The format of the presentation delivered during the Joint Regional Natural Disaster

Seminars should include a Question and Answer (Q&A) session at the end of each

section so as to allow participants to have a discussion on a specific topic when the

information provided is still fresh in their minds.

� Non-MINUSTAH members of the delegation should be given a higher priority on

MINUSTAH flights to ensure that they make the manifest and are not left behind on

the day of a seminar.

� It is recommended to include a representative from the DPC (national level) in the

joint visits to illustrate the Government of Haiti’s contingency plan and SNGRD.

LOGISTICS

One new COUD will be built in each

department in 2012 (to be finalized for

all departments in July 2012). The

equipment needed for each COUD has to

be determined. For example, It was noted

that currently most COUDs lack some

basic equipment (i.e. there are no maps).

This is a shortcoming since map products

can help to visualize impending crisis and

its related developments/consequences

on the logistic infrastructure.

NOTE CONCEPTUELLE

Ateliers d’information et d’orientation au niveau départemental

Note conceptuelle

Les structures et les procédures de réponse aux désastres du gouvernement, de la Communauté

Humanitaire et de la Minustah ainsi que les leçons apprises

du Simex 2011 et de la Tempête tropicale Emily

CONTEXTE

L’exercice de simulation 2011 organisé durant la fin du mois de juillet dans les

Départements de l’Ouest et du Sud-est a eu pour but de tester les capacités de réponse au niveau

national, départemental et communal de tous les acteurs impliqués dans la réponse et la gestion en

cas de désastres tels qu’un cyclone frappant Haïti.

Deux éléments prioritaires ont été évalués lors du SIMEX :

(a) les mécanismes de coordination entres les différents acteurs du système de gestion des

risques et des désastres, la communauté internationale humanitaire et la MINUSTAH;

(b) les mécanismes de partage de l’information et de prise de décision.

Le SIMEX 2011 a permis de faire ressortir des points clés nécessitant un travail de la part de

tous les acteurs au niveau national (COUN/EJOINT/EJOC), départemental et communal. La

coordination et la diffusion de l’information entre les différents acteurs nationaux et internationaux

au niveau national et départemental semblent avoir été les faiblesses majeures du SIMEX - qui a été

très positif dans son ensemble. Le SIMEX a été suivi par des réunions d’évaluation conjointe à tous

les niveaux. Un plan de suivi des leçons apprises et une grille reprenant les actions futures ont été

élaborés. Dans cette grille, une des priorités identifiées a été la nécessité d’organiser un atelier

d’information et d’orientation des acteurs en situation de réponse a un désastre, a savoir le SNGRD,

la MINUSTAH et les humanitaires.

Dans ce contexte, la communauté humanitaire internationale et la MINUSTAH (JOTC) ont

décidé d’organiser un atelier dans les départements sur le rôle, les responsabilités et les

16

mécanismes de coordination et de communication entre tous les acteurs impliquent dans la gestion

de crise.

A fin de favoriser la coordination et la communication entre tous les acteurs

départementaux, l’ensemble des membres du SNGRD présents au niveau des départementaux ont

été invités à suivre cet atelier de formation et d’orientation.

OBJECTIFS

L’atelier est articulé autour de deux objectifs :

� Améliorer la coordination et le partage d'information entre les différents acteurs

impliqués dans la planification d'urgence et de réponse au niveau central et départemental.

� Renforcer la connaissance sur les mécanismes de coordination entre le niveau national,

départemental et communal (COUN/COUD/COUC/EJOINT/EJOC/RJOC).

RESULTATS

Les résultats attendus sont :

� Le renforcement des connaissances de chaque institution (le SNGRD, la MINUSTAH et les

acteurs de la communauté internationale humanitaire) dans chaque département.

� La compréhension de l’interaction et de la coordination entre les différentes structures

qu'ils seront activées lors de la réponse à une crise

(COUN/COUD/COUC/EJOINT/EJOC/RJOC).

� La consolidation d'un rapport final sur les visites effectuées, l’identification des prochaines

étapes pour le renforcement de la préparation/réponse aux désastres et la définition des

points focaux pour la mise en oeuvre des prochaines étapes.

PARTICIPANTS

Cet atelier est organisé dans chaque département et concerne l’ensemble des acteurs

nationaux (membres des institutions du SNGRD) et internationaux (Communauté Internationale

Humanitaire et MINUSTAH) du système national de gestion des risques et désastres au niveau

départemental. L’équipe de visite dans les départements est composée du JOTC (MINUSTAH), du

PAM/Cluster Logistique, du point focal humanitaire (OCHA, ou d'autres agences des Nations Unies

dans les départements où OCHA n'est pas présent) et d’un membre du PNUD (Unité Gestion des

Risques et Désastres)
