Habitat Armenia is a member of the Disaster Management Country Team (DMCT) and DRR National Platform (ARNAP). In this capacity, Habitat Armenia will get involved in joint actions in case of major emergencies and support the Armenian Government’s efforts in saving lives and minimizing material losses.
The main DRR & R activities include Mitigation, Preparedness and Response. Habitat Armenia’s Disaster Preparedness and Response Strategy program defines the basic principles and standards, as well as the developmental and collaborative framework implemented in its disaster response program.
Habitat Armenia has formulated a DR Operational Plan specific to Armenia. This plan provides a response timeline, generic assessment forms, standard communications materials, sample budgets, and technical solutions. The plan will be activated upon the onset of a disaster.
Habitat Armenia has developed the brochure “How to Become Resilient to Earthquakes.” It gives clear instructions for how to prepare for earthquake emergencies and what to do when an earthquake hits.
