Purpose:

The ASEAN-ERAT Guidelines is intended as an easily accessible reference tool for ASEAN-ERAT before and during a mission to a disaster or emergency. The information on personal preparedness and pre-deployment arrangements, mission equipment and alert, activation and mobilization procedures provides guidance to the ASEAN-ERAT on their basic responsibilities as a regional responder. The further details on deployment procedures, rapid assessment methodology, reporting, on- site coordination and demobilisation should be used by the ASEAN-ERAT as they deploy to disasters regionally. This also allows the ASEAN-ERAT Guidelines to be used as a primary source of reference for training of the ASEAN-ERAT.
