These actions were done in alignment with International Movement strategies and standards, including Strategy 2020 and the Inter-American Framework for Action 2012-2016. Particular technical and strategic guidance was given to the BRC in the areas of urban risk and resilience, response and preparation for disaster, and organization development. During 2014, the BRC lead a four-month DREF operation for floods (MDRBO009). This DREF operation assisted 5,000 people (1,000 households) following the heavy precipitation in November and December 2013, which led to the declaration of a national emergency in January 2014. The BRC attended the subsequent floods that severely impacted the Beni and Pando departments in the Bolivian Amazon. The National Society implemented a cash transfer programme, as well as health prevention activities and support for the recovery of water and sanitation actions. Click here for the Final Report.

  • Italy: Earthquake Update N° 2 27 April 2009
    DREF operation n° MDRIT001 GLIDE EQ-2009-000072-ITA Italy: Earthquake Update n° 2 27 April 2009 The International Federation’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) is a source of un-earmarked money created by the Federation in 1985 to ensure that immediate financial support is available for Red Cross and Red Crescent response to emergencies. The DREF is a vital part of the International Federation’s disaster response system and increases the ability of national societies to respond to disasters. Period covered by this update: 9 April to 23 April 2009. CHF 700,000 (USD 613,944 or EUR 460,808) has been allocated from the International Federation’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support the Italian Red Cross in delivering immediate assistance to 15,000 beneficiaries and to replenish emergency stocks. This DREF operation is an opportunity for Partner National Societies and donors to support the Italian Red Cross in its ongoing operations, and un-earmarked contributions to replenish the DREF are therefore highly encouraged. Summary: A strong earthquake measuring 6.3 on the Richter scale hit central Italy on 6 April 2009. Some 290 people have been killed, around 1,000 Photo: Italian Red Cross operational centre injured and 48,000 made homeless. Several strong aftershocks hit the region in the following week. The Italian Red Cross is supporting the affected population with food and non- food items as well as psychological support in order to overcome the most urgent needs. This operation is expected to be implemented over a period of three months, and will therefore be completed by 7 July, 2009.

  • International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement Family Links Network Code of Conduct on Data Protection
    International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement Family Links Network Code of Conduct on Data Protection Version 1.0 November 2015 International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement Family Links Network Code of Conduct _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Foreword This Code of Conduct (CoC) was drafted by a working group composed of representatives of the Austrian Red Cross (Claire Schocher-Döring), Belgian Red Cross (Flanders) (Axel Vande Veegaete, Nadia Terweduwe), British Red Cross (Mark Baynham and Emily Knox), German Red Cross (Jutta Hermanns), Red Cross EU Office (Olivier Jenard), International Committee of the Red Cross (Romain Bircher, Massimo Marelli, Katja Gysin) and International Federation of Red Cross and Red Cross Societies (Christopher Rassi) (Working Group). Several other representatives of these organizations also took part in the drafting, discussions, and meetings, making important contributions. The Working Group began discussions on this project in late 2013, and has had several working meetings in Mechelen (April 2014), Brussels (July 2014), Vienna (September 2014), Sofia (November 2014), and London (January 2015), in addition to multiple phone conferences and e-mail exchanges. The CoC was adopted within the Working Group by consensus, incorporating feedback received from many National Societies. The CoC was deemed necessary due to (1) the many actors of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (Movement) operating in the Family Links Network , and the need to transfer data within the Movement and to other actors, and (2) the changing regulatory environment in Europe and worldwide with regard to data protection laws and standards. The CoC sets out the minimum principles, commitments, and procedures that members of the Movement must comply with when processing data within the Family Links Network.
