Tsunami causes devastation: how IRC helps
In order to help those affected by the earthquake in the Indian Ocean IRC has engaged in several initiatives, including an integrated emergency plan, briefing sessions and practical information on water, sanitation and hygiene for local organisations and aid workers.
Tsunami Briefing Programme
On the 13th of January no less than six aid-workers attended the first Tsunami briefing organised by IRC in partnership with WASTE, PRACTICA and NWP. The organisers offered professional information on water solutions, sanitation systems and hygiene promotion strategies.
