2.1.4 ADPC/PEER Activities During Floods in Thailand September-December 2011

During this Reporting Quarter, the worst period of flooding Thailand has suffered in decades affected the central provinces and the

Bangkok area. The flooding was unprecedented in the scale of losses and people affected. Despite members of PEER team becoming

affected and displaced through the flooding, the PEER team worked to mitigate the effects of the disaster where possible, through

utilizing Public Health in Emergencies (PHE) expertise, and PEER resources through the following activities:

Technical Assistance: PHE/PEER team worked with Emergency Management Institute of Thailand (EMIT) to coordinate

set up of the Response Center using Incident Command System. expertise, During the flood response, the EMIT Center

controlled helicopters, light aircraft and other logistics, with the mission to transport emergency care patients from flood-

affected hospitals, to safer hospitals within the protected zone. The ADPC package of technical materials on Incident

Command System (ICS) was used by the Center. This included; management of operations, logistics and personnel, guidance

and best practice checklists, forms, chain-of-command, and other systematic processes in public health disaster response.

Elements of ICS are also included in the HOPE curriculum, as well as other PHE courses – Hospital Emergency

Preparedness and Response (HEPR) and Public Health Emergency Managers in Asia-Pacific (PHEMAP)

More information: http://www.adpc.net/blog/?p=1453.

Emergency Communications / Public Health Awareness and Advocacy: ADPC has set up a dedicated Thailand Flood

2011 Website with Public Health messages from PHE/PEER team, ADPC resources on flood in Thai, embedded maps,

emergency numbers and links: www.adpc.net/thaiflood2011

o Information resources for public health / public health alerts

o Relief management and distribution

o Public awareness messaging

o Public health and disease / pandemic-potential /infectious disease

o Official alert messages and mediums / channels of communications

o Risk communication / assessment and impact

o Economic / social / cultural / psychosocial impact

ADPC was featured in the Google Thailand Crisis Map resources section – with a prominent link to the Flood Survival Tips

developed by Public Health in Emergencies (PHE)/PEER team.

Public Health Response Coordination: PHE Team co-facilitated an Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) forum in

December 2011on “Emerging Infectious Diseases – Risks and Mitigation Measures during the Thailand Flood 2011” This

was attended by public health-related multi-sector agencies, to collaborate and coordinate efforts, share experiences and

actions, address gaps and challenges, promote best practice, and advocate for public health risk mitigation measures. Invited

Panelists were from; Raks Thai (CARE International), Bureau of Epidemiology, Ministry of Public Health (MOPH),

Department of Medical Sciences (MOPH), Mahidol University, Thai Red Cross and WHO Thailand.

2.2. CADRE ACTIVITIES:

3.2.1. CADRE Bangladesh Community Courses

Dates: 16 - 18 November 2011 in Paikpara, Siraganj District

21 to 23 November 2011in Narinda district, Dhaka City.

Participants:

Rural Community: There were 26 participants from the rural community, 24 of which are Community Disaster Response Team

Member of Bangladesh Red Crescent Society BDRCS, who were invited to attend by BDRCS and two Firemen from Sirajgonj fire

station. In total there were 12 men and 14 women participants.

Urban Community: There were 24 participants all of which are community members. In total there were 18 men and 6 women

participants

Instructors: Seven in total; three Master Instructors from the Fire Service and Civil Defense (FSCD) with four CADRE National

Course TFI & TFI-IW graduates (from September 2011 training in Dhaka) of which three were from BDRCS and one from FSCD.

Review and Outcomes:

All the participants completed the course successfully. The Bangladesh version (in Bengali) has been adapted and translated since the

National CADRE Course was conducted in September 2011. The translated CADRE course-book was used for the community-level

training. This was the introduction of new type of course through CADRE and both the participants and the national instructors

enjoyed the training. The course implementations demonstrated the incorporation of locally available equipments as well as traditional

and improvised techniques show how CADRE can be easily locally adapted, to make the training more acceptable at the community

level.

2.2.2. CADRE Lao PDR Community Training - Kammuan Province and Savanaket Province

CADRE Cambodia Community Courses

Dates: 12 -14 October, 2011 at Kampong Thom Province

17- 19 October, 2011 at the Blue River Hotel, Phnom Penh

Participants:

Rural community: There were 23 participants (5 women) for the rural community- from five Cambodia Red Cross branches and

mostly lived in the community.

Urban community: There were 24 participants (5 women) participants coming from six Cambodia Red Cross branches.

Review and Outcomes:

The two CADRE courses were concluded with 46 participants successfully completing the courses. The course is very new to the

participants who come from the various communities, yet they were active and participated in all activities, learning effectively all the

new skills and techniques. They are confident to apply this new knowledge in their communities and to pass on their knowledge to

their neighbours.

Some challenges were encountered with Instructors, since it was the first course for all instructors and they lacked experience in

lecture theories and practical exercises. Course Coordinator, experienced instructors and Course Monitor supported the newer

instructors. The participant workbook is translated into Khmer in a draft version, which needs shaping up to better convey information

in the lessons, avoiding misunderstanding of meaning and some errors of words which can affect the course. ADPC staff and local

instructors are now working to improve the participants’ workbook in Khmer translation.

Cambodia was strongly affected by river flood before and during the course, 18 provinces among 24 were flooded so it was difficult to

travel to attend the course for participants, where their home vicinity was experiencing flooding. Initially, 15 people were unable join

the first course and 10 people not able to make second course (conducted in 3 days following the first course). Fortunately additional

participants were able to join the courses. The recommendation was that course implementation should avoid the rainy season in the

provinces located along the Tonlesap River – which is a hazard for flooding.

2.2.3. CADRE Indonesia National Pilot Course and Adaptation Workshop TFI-IW

Dates: 21 November-4 December 2011

Location: Fire Training Services Jakarta

Participants:

There were 24 participants from several organizations PMI, Fire Service, 118 Ambulance Service, Muhammadiyah, Search &Rescue

Services, and Christian Organization. 1 person failed due to health reason, 22 persons successful up to TFI and 1 person got only

CADRE.

The National CADRE course was conducted in Bahasa Indonesia, which had previously been translated, in association with Ambulan

118. In addition, all the course materials are also translated. This was a significant contribution to the success of the course. .

Instructors for the CADRE National Course all had TFI in CADRE or TFI and experience in PEER training –Medical First Response

(MFR). The experienced and skilled Instructors came from ADPC, Fire Service, Red Cross, 118 Ambulance, and 1 regional monitor

from the Philippines.

For this National CADRE course, of the 24 participants who attended this course; 1 person failed, 22 were successful in CADRE Basic and

able to continue up to TFI, of which all 22 passed, 1 person failed due to ill-health.

The immediate future plan for CADRE Indonesia (date TBC April 2012) is to hold CADRE at Merapi Village, Jogyakarta – Central

Java for the rural area. Partial Funding with other NGOs who have interest in this area is currently also being sought in association

with Ambulan 118. The team plans to set up this training simultaneously with the local HOPE Course in Lamongan to benefit the

provincial-level response coordination and also to significantly reduce the budget for the combined training, because of travel costs

and other logistical expenses

2.3. HOPE ACTIVITIES:

2.3.1 HOPE Cambodia - Preah Kossamak Hospital

Dates: from 28 November - 02 December, 2011

Venue: Preah Kossamak Hospital, Phnom Penh

Participants: 24 participants (4 women)

Review and Outcomes:

Preah Kossamak Hospital training was the third implementation of HOPE in Cambodia under PEER 3 - conducted at the Preah

Kossamak Hospital. Various department heads and representatives were trained, as part of the technical support of PEER Program

for model hospitals. Preah Kossimak Hospital is one of the Model Hospitals for HOPE in Cambodia – along with the Khmer Soviet

friendship Hospital (KSFH).

All instructors were from Cambodia, utilizing Khmer as the primary mode of instruction.

HOPE Course at Preah Kossamak Hospital was inaugurated by the H.E Professor Thir Kruy, Secretary of State of the Ministry of

Health, as Chief Guest at the opening ceremony.

All the participants were serving in the hospital as doctors, staff and administrators. Some challenges were identified in the

translated materials, since there are some errors and the instructors were required to review the course materials following the

course. In addition, because the course was conducted in the hospital facility, some participants were absent during some of the

course components, attending to their regular hospital work. Therefore, the recommendation is that it would be better if HOPE

could be conducted outside the workplace, in order to allow all participants to concentrate more fully on the course.

3. PROGRESS OF THE PROGRAM FOR THIS REPORTING PERIOD

3.1. PROGRAM MANAGEMENT:

3.1.1 PEER Personnel Changes:

PEER Country Focal Points:

Focal Points are appointed for PEER CADRE and PEER HOPE from each participating partner in each PEER country, and from

NDMA-in-country. This is to promote the efficiency of PEER networking and communication of activities, and ensure that

information flow is systematic.

PEER Country Coordinators: New In-Country Coordinators for PEER have been recruited to assist the management of PEER

Activities, Liaison and Logistics.

Nepal Country Coordinator– Ms Pooja Bariya

Pakistan Country Coordinator - from Network of Disaster Management Practitioners (NDMP) Mr. Falak Nawaz starting

November 2011

Indonesia Country Coordinator – from Ambulan 118, Ms. Asti Puspita Rini

In-country coordinators will also be appointed for the remaining PEER countries in the upcoming months. PEER program

management focus is now in-country, now that CADRE and HOPE development stages are now at country level, having moved

beyond the regional level. In the forthcoming months, PEER will also move beyond national level, to community level. Therefore this

further necessitates personnel involvement in management in-country.
