Inter-agency contingency planning

Incorporating the specific needs of migrants in inter-agency contingency plans can help international organizations to better address migrants’ needs during emergency responses. Important activities may include:

• Integrating migrants in national and regional contingency planning platforms;
• Providing instructions and guidance on how to integrate migrants and their needs in contingency planning and contingency planning tools;
• Engaging migrants and other relevant stakeholders in consultations on contingency planning;
• Translating prevention, preparedness, and emergency response material, including announcements and directions, into migrants’ native languages.
