5 Project Background
Pakistan is prone to multiple hazards including both natural and man-made. In any case, it’s the general public who
suffer and who require assistance where the situations are so complex that government alone cannot handle it.
Previous emergencies in Punjab including yearly monsoon floods, have shown that humanitarian actors’ response is
more quick and relevant in such situations. Many good lessons are learned and that provides a strong base for
improvement of any future response. The emergency preparedness and response mechanism in the country has
improved from one to another incident and it needs to be continuously upgraded and updated in context of the lessons
learned from previous actions. Mobilization of resources, contingency planning and preparation is just one option to be
adopted for an efficient and effective response. Based on the UNICEF Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan
