The TEPRP is a Multi-Hazards functional plan that sets forth appropriate actions to be taken in response to an emergency or major disaster including potential or imminent threat of any event. The TEPRP aims to facilitate the coordination for the delivery of resources and services necessary to deal with the consequences of an emergency or major disaster.

The purpose of Tanzania Disaster Communication Strategy (TDCS) is to ensure operability, interoperability and continuity of communications to allow emergency responders to communicate as needed, on demand, and as authorized at all levels of the government.

The IDTMTM was developed to promote efforts addressing disaster issues in Tanzania, informing the public about the major disasters that affect the community.

This document presents Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that will be used to guide and operate the Emergency Operation and Communication Center (EOCC) in the time when an emergency is escalating to a disaster or a major disaster strikes.

This tool is an aid intended for the government or partner that may need to conduct an emergency assessment. For those who have never implemented an assessment in emergency situation, this tool provides basic guidance. For experts, the tool serves as a reminders or suggestions of what should be covered in the assessment.
