To optimize the speed and volume of critical humanitarian assistance, the HCT has developed this Plan to:
1. Reach a common understanding of earth...quake risk to ensure early action is taken when required.
2. Establish a minimum level of earthquake preparedness across clusters.
3. Build the basis for a joint HCT response strategy to meet the needs of affected people in the first 6 weeks to 3 months of a response.
4. Define considerations for detailed contingency planning on the basis of the worst-case scenario, especially around access and logistics.

Les maladies infectieuses comme le COVID-19 peuvent perturber l’environnement dans lequel les enfants grandissent et se développent. Les bouleversements qui affectent les familles, les relations avec les amis, les routines quotidiennes et l’ensemble de la communauté peuvent avoir des répercus...sions négatives sur le bien-être, le développement et la protection des enfants. En outre, les mesures appliquées pour prévenir et contrôler la propagation du COVID-19 peuvent exposer les enfants à des risques pour leur protection. Les mesures de quarantaine et d’isolement au domicile ainsi que dans des installations ou des zones spécifiques peuvent affecter de façon négative les enfants et leur famille.
L’objectif du présent document est d’aider les professionnels de la protection de l’enfance à mieux faire face aux risques dans ce domaine lors d’une pandémie de COVID-19. La première partie présente les risques potentiels pour la protection de l’enfance auxquels le COVID-19 peut exposer les enfants. La seconde partie décrit des options programmatiques conformes à l’édition 2019 des Standards minimum de protection de l’enfance dans l’action humanitaire (SMPE) et à la Note d’information : Protection des enfants lors d’épidémies de maladies infectieuses (en anglais).
