Handbook for Emergencies, Third edition
Abstract
As a reference tool which serves to reinforce a common understanding among the many key actors in emergency situations, the third edition of UNHCR's Emergency Handbook reflects the latest developments in humanitarian action and UNHCR's emergency response.
This version includes a number of important revisions based on valuable inputs from the nongovernmental organizations and other partners who are an integral part of our standby capacity. Updates include an emphasis on security awareness as an integral part of daily life and work in operations, along with important information on UNHCR and the military; a new chapter on combating HIV/AIDS in refugee situations; and how to prevent and respond to sexual and gender- based violence in emergencies. The revised Handbook underscores the need to understand, from the very outset of an emergency, the protection risks facing different members of a community and describes how to conduct participatory assessments with women, girls, boys and men to ensure adequate assistance and protection for all.
