Emergency responsiveness initiative in Tyre Caza community preparedness

Within the framework of Phase 2 of the Emergency Responsiveness Initiative in Tyre Caza, that focuses

on enhancing capacities and improving effectiveness and efficiency of preparedness and response

mechanisms during disasters, the Union of Tyre Municipalities (UoTM) and the Rapid Response Unit

(RRU) in particular, have selected the area known as the old part of Tyre city near the sea port for the

implementation of a model area for community preparedness in response to disasters. This project is a

continuation of similar work in the Al-Masaken Area, where the study culminated by the procurement

and outfitting a DRR container with emergency PPE and Equipment.

Objective of Project:

Enhance resilience and disaster response capacity at the community level in the target area by spreading

awareness and preparedness among various groups of the local society.
