ROHCMUM is a formalised coalition (incorporated since 2007) that convenes community and humanitarian organisations, municipal civil security, and Québec public-safety actors.
It focuses on preparedness and operational coordination for “major disasters,” improving how organisations mobilise, communicate, and deliver support to affected populations.
Its core offer includes structured workshops (initiation, emergency measures plan, business continuity, mobilisation/coordination) facilitated by specialists.
Developed
Case
ReBuS provides a structured methodological framework and operational tools to assess community resilience and to guide strategic planning and public action in the context of crises, emergencies, and systemic change, through a holistic, participatory and multi-level approach.
Contribution
Get Ready (NEMA - New Zealand) is a national preparedness platform that offers practical instructions for preparing for and responding to multi-risk emergencies (before, during, and after).
The site addresses the problem of low self-sufficiency in a crisis, promoting family/community plans, kits, and supplies (e.g., water and grab bags). It includes specific guidance for vulnerable groups (disabilities, the elderly, children) and pets, with accessible and multilingual resources.
Case
The Palau CBDRR Toolkit strengthens “bottom-up” resilience by linking the national framework and state plans to the community/hamlet level. It covers preparedness topics such as early warning and operational procedures for disseminating alerts. It includes a participatory vulnerability assessment with attention to the needs of vulnerable groups. It promotes community engagement and an organized response through local committees (e.g., search and rescue and relief/assistance).
