The Red Cross Red Crescent Movement MHPSS Hub has published a new resource in the short guidance note series – this time focusing MHPSS implications of earthquakes.
We are aware that Red Cross Red Crescent colleagues on the frontlines of disaster responses are under an immense pressure and great time constraint. The guidance note series was designed to provide short operational guidance in these contexts of chaos and unpredictability where time and efficiency is essential. Given the recent series of devastating earthquakes in the Americas region we saw a need to provide an edition on this particular type of hazard and make a Spanish translation available
The guidance note is intended for Red Cross Red Crescent Movement components who may be responding to earthquakes in their country, or region. It includes guidance on:
- common reactions and behaviors during and after earthquakes
- integration of MHPSS considerations for disaster responses
- links to existing relevant materials
