21 November 2005Emergency Telecommunications Cluster3 Strategy elements: (e.g. Governance, Communications, Interoperability, Sustainability) Planning & Preparedness measures: Timely and Predictable response capacity Clearly defined services and timelines (1, 3, 8 and 9 weeks) Based on Inter-Agency Emergency Telecommunications (IAET) humanitarian common service. Emergency Telecommunications

21 November 2005Emergency Telecommunications Cluster4 Required capacity currently does not exist. IAET relies on best effort approach with long delays Existing capacities mappings for UN, NGOs, standby partners and the private sector preparedness and implementation plan/activities Requirements for 2007 and beyond Funding requirements for 3 major emergencies (500,000 beneficiaries) in of which could overlap Services provided by multiple individual agencies Especially benefit organizations with smaller operations Emergency Telecommunications

21 November 2005Emergency Telecommunications Cluster5 Preparedness for dedicated capacity In 2006:$6,680,000 (incl. Initial pre-positioned stocks) In 2007+:$3,507,000 est. recurring/year Per emergency$3,255,000 (6 months & 5 operational sites) Immediate funding for stock replenishment to respond to overlapping emergencies ETC infrastructure is capital-intensive & directly related to number, locations, proximity & distribution of the operational areas Emergency Telecommunications Funding Requirements
