Disclaimer: This is an internal document for the humanitarian community in oPt and should not be widely disseminated nor be published. INTRODUCTION

This plan aims to provide a common strategic planning framework for the Humanitarian Country team and humanitarian actors in the case of a large-scale emergency in Gaza. Included are: potential scenarios, their humanitarian and operational consequences, coordination and response provision. Response mechanisms for small-scale emergencies1 are not outlined in this plan. In such a situation, OCHA, in consultation with relevant clusters, may activate multi-sectorial Emergency Assessment Teams and decide on appropriate response arrangements.2

NOTE: Activation of the IACP is rather driven by caseloads of people in need of life-saving humanitarian assistance rather than by specific scenarios; consequently, it can be activated even if the situation does not match the scenarios. A case in point would be a natural disaster. As a relatively measurable target, the caseload of 10,000 new IDPs/ affected populations has been identified as requirement for the activation of the IACP. However, this is an estimation and much will depend on how the situation unfolds. Ultimately, it remains the prerogative of the HC to decide on the (non-)activation of the plan.3

1. Small-scale emergencies can be defined as a localized incident affecting certain communities in a given area (i.e. flooding, power outages, small-scale conflict). 2. Purpose, Trigger and Procedure of these teams are outlined in the SOPs for the Assessment Teams. Linked to the multi-sectorial assessment during small-scale emergency is the deployment of monitoring teams two weeks following an initial humanitarian response (see SOPs of the Monitoring Teams). Specific tools have been developed for that purpose, namely the Emergency Assessment Tool (EAT) and Emergency Monitoring Tool (EMT) - see small-scale emergency toolkit. The SOPs and tools have been developed by the Inter-Cluster Preparedness Team that conducts specific preparedness tasks and collaboratively works on strengthening preparedness capacity in Gaza. The set-up of this team was requested by the HC/HC. The Preparedness Team is chaired by OCHA and reports to the Inter-Cluster Coordination Group (ICCG). See TOR of the Preparedness Team. In addition, the health cluster has developed a 96-hours, incident-specific contingency plan that can be used to scale-up response to health-impacted emergencies, such as for the Great March of Return. 3. Also see paragraph on activation of the IACP as well as the timeline (see Section IV. Emergency Coordination Structure).

4. The Possibility to include another scenario on natural disasters was discussed, but has not been identified as a priority by the Preparedness Team, with the following justification: Floods are the most recurring natural disaster type in the Gaza strip, however, they do not require an activation of the IACP and can be handled with existing response capacities, including through the activation of cluster-specific response plans (such as WASH). The happening of a large-scale earthquake has equally been considered by the Preparedness Team, but the likelihood has been considered as very small. 5. See UNMAS’ ERW Risk Assessment Request Form (Annex 10). 6. The list of priority needs is not exhaustive, this will be informed by assessments and driven by decisions taken at ECC.

9 EMERGENCY COORDINATION STRUCTURE13

13. This chart does not include individual actors’ operations rooms, set up to organize their respective operations. These organizations provide input relevant to the overall coordination of the humanitarian emergency response through the cluster system and/or directly to the Emergency Coordination Centre, which absorbs the Inter-Cluster Coordination Group (ICCG) functioning in non-emergency times. The JCMT in Jerusalem and Gaza are reduced versions of the Humanitarian Country Team and the (Area) Security Management Team and derive their authority from these bodies. Online modalities will be envisaged as required.

31. In 2020, the Preparedness Team will be working on a more detailed mapping of resources. 32. Decentralized warehousing across Gaza areas are mapped on the digital, interactive map. 33. For stockpiling, the education cluster plans with the regular caseload as educational activities will be disrupted during the escalations and/or disease outbreak. The prepositioning supplies include school bags, stationery and uniforms etc. and will be distributed regardless of the displacement setting if educational activities are resumed. 34. This is the capacity of the WASH cluster partners to respond with prepositioned stocks as of now. In addition, a large number of people could be reached through emergency repairs to water and wastewater networks based on pre-positioned stocks in the ICRC and UNICEF supported regional emergency warehouses of CMWU in Gaza depending on the extent of network damages. It is difficult to put an exact number to this intervention. Hence the potential gap is actually an overestimation. 35. Including Child Protection, GBV and Mine Action working groups. 36. CP AOR estimates the need to provide about 100,000 recreational kits to at least 300,000 vulnerable children affected by internal displacement. One kit serves up to 3 children. As next step, CP AOR needs to consult partners about existing kits and potential capacity.

37. Recommendations discussed in the AAR included the need to establish clear focal points for different areas of responsibility in clusters, HCT and within OCHA; the need to develop an email protocol to minimize the number of emails sent, to better include guidance from the ECC on advocacy messaging and transmission of messages to higher levels, for example on humanitarian access, as well as better integrate Communications with Communities (CwC) component into the response structure. 38. For details on the function of the RCS, see annex I 39. More detailed information is to be shared regarding the Community Engagement focal points, since this is a new function in the RCS, based on global guidance. The key purpose of the function is to ensure outreach to communities during crisis, to ensure affected communities are informed about ongoing developments, and as the crisis progresses, to also open up two-way communication channels to enable community engagement in the response, and ensure adherence to accountability towards affected populations, in accordance with the humanitarian community’s commitments to affected populations, as outlined in the Inter Agency Steering Committee (IASC) commitments. 40. In case of break-down of traditional channels of communication (totally or partially, in some specific geographical locations) radios should be used between communication staff in the case of a collapse of traditional means of communication (internet, phone). Call signs should be known and distributed in advance. 45 48-72 hours after declared emergency: Thereafter (during the emergency): When more details about the crisis and its consequences Regular HC / HCT donor/diplomatic briefings will are known, ideally latest 72 hours after the first public be arranged by OCHA, with support from Advocacy HC declaration of an emergency, OCHA Advocacy Focal Points of the HCT AWG, informing donors and Media focal points will draft a more detailed HC and diplomats about the most recent developments, statement for release and interviews with the press and communicating key asks to them (i.e. calling for can be arranged or a press conference with main HCT humanitarian access, protection of civilians etc.) as well partners can be convened.
