Preparedness for Effective Response

Avatar photo Miguel Aguirre November 16, 2018

Preparedness for Effective Response (PER) is a cyclical approach for a National Society (NS) to systematically assess, measure, and analyse the strengths and weaknesses of its response system in order to take remedial actions. The PER approach puts the National Society in the driver’s seat to construct a work-plan that, when implemented, will strengthen its overall response capacity. 

Available also in Spanish, French an Arabic.
