EMERGENCY TELECOMS
PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE
GUIDELINES
About the Emergency ICT Guidelines
This document is meant as an aid to UNICEF ICT staff, both for emergency preparedness
and to assist when in emergency. It contains best practices and guidance in ensuring rapid
implementation of IT and telecommunications services in support of UNICEF humanitarian
interventions. This document should be used along with other emergency ICT related
publications (see ITSS Emergency Portal), such as the UNICEF Wireless & Emergency
Telecoms Standards and the Emergency ICT Checklist. For further guidance, field ICT are
encouraged to contact the Regional Chief of ICT and NYHQ ITSS Emergency Telecoms Unit
(via Global Help Desk).
IT and telecommunications solutions and services are essential components of any
humanitarian operation; facilitating operational efficiency, program implementation and staff
security (MOSS compliance). This puts a significant responsibility on UNICEF field ICT staff in
ensuring such services are timely and adequately deployed. In addition to supporting
UNICEF’s internal operations, UNICEF field ICT staff must also be prepared to serve as active
members of the interagency/cluster community in any given emergency, and – in special cases
and when UNICEF s best positioned to take on such task – to serve as cluster lead agency
and service provider in the emergency.
An essential part of preparedness is access to trained staff. ITSS has developed a
comprehensive emergency ICT training curriculum and field-office ICT are encouraged to seek
to be included in ITSS’ global emergency ICT training workshops (more below).

1. Preparedness phase
Good preparedness is essential for an efficient and timely response. When the emergency
strikes it is often too late to acquire essential telecoms and ICT equipment, and much time can
be saved and problems avoided by ensuring a good preparedness.
1.1 Core Commitments for Children
UNICEF offices should ensure they are in compliance with the ICT component of
UNICEF’s Core Commitments for Children in Emergencies, CCCs. The CCCs ICT component
covers both preparedness and response/early recovery, and is supported by an ICT CCC
monitoring tool, facilitating tracking of an office’s compliance. It is highly recommended that
field office ICT staff make themselves familiar with the ICT CCCs before the emergency
strikes.
1.2 Emergency Preparedness and Response Planning and Activities
An important part of the field-office’s ICT preparedness is the development and
maintenance of a solid Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan (EPRP). A good guide
on developing the EPRP is the ICT Emergency Checklist. (This is also a component of the field
office’s Early Warning/Early Action checklist.) When developing the ICT component of the
EPRP, field ICT should work closely with other operations and security staff to ensure a
realistic EPRP. Some things to consider when developing the EPRP:
-
-
-
In most emergencies, the security situation will deteriorate quickly, requiring rapid access to
additional security telecoms equipment - such as radios and personal satphones, as well as
connectivity tools allowing staff to work from home if required, such as BGANs, ThurayaIP,
iDirect terminals or other high-speed data-solutions (local and reliable ISPs can be a good
solution). It is a good practice to ensure that the office has a stand-by stock of such
equipment, or as a minimum that knowledge exists of where to quickly obtain such
equipment and services.
Consider that in an emergency, most offices will experience a large influx of external
responders. These will typically require connectivity (i.e. additional data-connectivity &
bandwidth) and personal MOSS equipment (cellphones; VHF radios).
Preparedness plans need to be tested regularly:
o Perform radio-checks and drills regularly. In most operations, a weekly radio-check
is required.
o Set-up your data back-up connectivity equipment and perform tests. Note: SIM
cards for BGAN and other mobile satellite communications (MSS) equipment should
be always activated and ready for use – do not wait until emergency strikes. For
help in activating your SIM cards, contact the service provider or Global Help Desk
(globalhelpdesk@unicef.org).
o If a back-up/alternate location exists, make sure to run tests and simulations also
from this location (such could be Rep house; other agency offices; etc.)

Consider all aspects of Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. The Emergency ICT
Checklist and the UNICEF Emergency Handbook offers important information and
guidance on how to ensure good BC/DR preparedness.
Seek to involve other UN and NGO partners in preparedness activities: experience shows
that when the emergency strikes, agencies will have to work together other and time can be
saved if plans are made and tested during the preparedness phase. The local interagency
ICT group, and/or local Emergency telecoms Cluster (ETC) group are the best forums for
such activities. If such groups are not in operation in your duty station, take the initiative!
(Link to suggested TOR for local ICT working group can be found below).
1.3 Important preparedness tasks
These are some important actions you should perform on a regular basis whether an
emergency is expected or not:
- Regularly train users in operation of emergency telecoms related equipment such as twoway radios and mobile satcoms equipment. All new staff should be instructed, in addition it
is recommended to run regular refresh training. This can be done through including such
training in the office’s regular (program, operational, security) simulation exercises. In some
cases, simple training sessions can be carried out during lunch-breaks, etc. Be innovative!
Also seek to share and collaborate with other agencies in joint user training exercises.
- Perform regular checks of office’s radio and satphone equipment.
- Maintain the ICT component of the office EPRP, consolidated through the Early
Warning/Early Action Intranet pages, including filling-out the Emergency ICT Checklist.
- Ensure your satellite terminals are tested and ready to be used. This includes ensuring
SIM-cards are active and that you know how to quickly set-up the equipment
- iDirect VSAT terminals are part of many offices’ back-up connectivity. These require trained
and certified staff for proper installation and use. If you do not have access to certified
iDirect installers within UNICEF, seek to identify local companies or other agencies that
have iDirect certified installers.
- Regularly update the ICT Office Profile. This is an important tool especially in the early
phase of the emergency, allowing RO and HQ to quickly determine what equipment and
staff is available in the country office.
- Regularly test back-up/disaster recovery processes and solutions.
1.4 Training in Emergency Telecoms
The CCCs state that every country office should have at least one emergency-trained
ICT specialist. Only with such capacity at the local level can adequate ICT emergency
preparedness and response, and business continuity plans be developed and implemented.
ITSS has developed a comprehensive training curriculum covering all aspect of emergency
preparedness and response in the area of ICT, including but not limited to: Security
communications (VHF, UHF and HF radio); mobile satcoms (Iridium, Thuraya, BGAN); VSAT
(certification in iDirect and EMC/corporate VSAT systems); alternative power systems; wireless
networking; and coordination and emergency project management.
4
ITSS jointly with regional ICT chiefs regularly organize such emergency telecoms
training workshops at the global level. It is highly recommended that country office ICT seek to
attend such workshops.
2. Response phase
As the emergency strikes, the country office ICT responsible should immediately take
action to ensure the ICT component of the emergency response are handled in a quick and
effective manner while ensuring compliance with the CCCs ICT component. It is the
responsibility of the country office ICT, in collaboration with Regional Chief of ICT and ITSS
NYHQ to ensure that the office at all stages in the emergency response is CCCs compliant.
2.1 Immediate actions:
When the emergency strikes there are certain actions you should seek to carry out
immediately:
- Immediately perform back-up of essential data.
- Work with SMT to ensure security telecommunications are adequate and as per security
level requirements.
- Test your back-up and security communications equipment and networks.
- If local Internet and/or VSAT is unavailable, immediately seek to establish an alternate
data-connectivity solution, such as BGAN, iDirect or other locally available dataconnectivity.
- Perform an initial gap assessment of your ICT needs and resources
- Put together a sitrep for Regional ICT and HQ ITSS, describing your capacity and known
gaps and needs.
- Update your Office Profile with current equipment, services and staffing (incl contact
information).
- Take steps to support interagency coordination through existing ICT coordination forums if
such exist, or take steps to initiate such group.
2.2 Emergency coordination, information sharing and interagency collaboration
Coordination, collaboration and information sharing are important components of the
emergency response. Such activities take place both within UNICEF and with other UNagencies.
UNICEF coordination: typically the field office ICT staff will be supported by the regional Chief
of ICT (RCICT) and by ITSS/Operations, where RCICT handles day-to-day coordination and
support while NYHQ/ITSS handles the global interagency/ETC (Emergency Telecoms Cluster)
related coordination – in addition to facilitating access to ITSS’ in-house stock of emergency
telecoms equipment and roster of emergency ICT response staff.
Information-sharing: in order to ensure best possible coordination and collaboration both within
UNICEF (CO-RO-HQ) and with other agencies, regular sharing of information is essential. This
is especially important in the early stages of an emergency, where daily emailed situation
5
reports (sitrep) should be prepared by the CO ICT responsible and shared with RO and HQ
ICT (for eventual further distribution). Similarly, findings of rapid assessments should be shared
with RO/HQ, to ensure these are fully aware what is going on and thereby better prepared to
support the CO. Typically the CO ICT is also requested to participate in local ICT/ETC
meetings, and global ICT/ETC teleconferences, further strengthening information-sharing and
thereby identify opportunities for collaboration.
Interagency coordination and collaboration: Since 2006, the Emergency Telecoms Cluster
(ETC) has been the dedicated forum for common emergency preparedness and response in
the area of emergency telecoms. At the global level, WFP is the ETC lead-agency and as such
ultimately responsible for ensuring global common telecoms preparedness and response,
including serving as Provider of Last Resort (PoLR) for security and data-communications.
When the emergency strikes, the Humanitarian Coordinator or Resident Coordinator
may declare a “cluster” emergency, with activation of some or all clusters. When the ETC is
activated, this facilitates for access to additional funding for common emergency telecoms. In
most emergencies, WFP – as PoLR – will be tasked with taking the lead; however, if another
agency has a strong presence in the country/operational area, the RC/HC may request that
agency to take the lead in that specific emergency. Example: If UNICEF has a well-developed
ICT infrastructure in a given country, UNICEF may be chosen as cluster lead agency in that
specific emergency.
The local ICT/ETC lead organization will be responsible for: local interagency
coordination; carrying out an interagency/cluster telecommunications gap-assessment (see
below); and provision of common security and data-communications. (For more about the
ETC, see www.oneresponse.info). The local ICT/ETC lead is typically the agency with the best
local ICT resources (often this is UNICEF, and UNICEF should be ready to take on such a task
if required).
2.3 ICT assessments: UNICEF and interagency/ETC
In order to ensure a timely addressing of ICT needs, the UNICEF ICT responsible must rapidly
carry-out an initial ICT assessment, mapping UNICEF’s ICT needs. This assessment is
especially important when there is a need to implement a new/emergency office/location. The
initial ICT assessment should address all ICT needs related to improving the country office ICT
and implementing new zone/emergency offices, including: security and data communications
equipment and service; MOSS compliance; staffing; funding requirements; etc. Outputs of a
typical ICT gap assessment would cover equipment and service needs; staffing needs; and
funding needs (for more on these areas see below). Templates for ICT assessment is available
on the ITSS Emergency Portal (click on Emergency Toolbox)
As the emergency develops, for instance if more field offices are required, more vehicles (with
radios), etc., further and more in-depth assessments may be required.
Interagency/ETC assessment: In cluster-activated emergencies, the ICT/ETC lead agency
is responsible for carrying out an ETC gap-assessment. Such assessment may indicate that
6
there are gaps (i.e. needs) in the areas of security (radio) communications and/or in the area of
common data-communications. Examples of such gaps:
- Lack of repeater coverage in a specific location, requiring installation of additional
repeater(s)
- Lack of radio-rooms for interagency security coordination, requiring establishment of a
common radio-room
- Lack of capacity among agency staff in radio programming, requiring the mission of a radiotrainer
- Lack of Internet access, requiring installation of a VSAT with Wi-Fi connectivity.
The responsibility for covering these gaps rests with the selected ETC lead agency in the
specific emergency. Typically the ETC lead agency will seek to obtain emergency funds to
cover the necessary equipment, services and staffing gaps. In this process, the ETC lead
agency will seek to involve UNICEF and other major UN agencies and NGOs operating in the
country, to jointly develop an ETC project and funding requirement. The ETC lead agency will
seek to include this as part of a consolidated emergency funding request, typically included in
an emergency Flash-Appeal. The Flash-Appeal will – in addition to ETC needs – include
funding needs for all areas of program and operational activities in the specific emergency.
Note that in some emergencies UNICEF may be requested to serve as local ETC cluster
lead and take responsibility for the ETC gap assessment and subsequent project plan and
funding request.
2.4 MOSS compliance
A revised, country-specific Security Risk Assessment (SRA) system is in effect, wherein each
country’s security level is determined by the DO/SMT based on country-specific SRA. The
country ICT team (UNICEF and partners) will need to support this process; assess need,
evaluate gaps and provide DO/SMT with appropriate recommendations for the telecoms
sector.
It is essential that an office in emergency maintains MOSS compliance. Much can and
should be done in the preparedness phase – such as pre-stocking back-up equipment;
however, most emergencies will require procurement/loan of additional equipment to ensure
MOSS compliance. When considering the office’s MOSS compliance, the country specific
Security Risk Assessment must be consulted; this requires collaboration with the office’s
security officer/focal point. For more information about MOSS and telecoms, see below under
“Equipment” and consult MOSS section on ITSS’s Emergency Portal.
2.5 Supply plan and ordering
Experience shows that lack of timely ordering of emergency ICT equipment can be a major
obstacle to an efficient response. The supply plan is therefore a critical component of the initial
assessment and much effort should be put into ensuring that orders for ICT equipment and
service are properly anticipated and correctly initiated. The ICT responsible should ensure that
7
the equipment needs are established as quickly as possible and work with the CO supply
officer/focal point to have ICT equipment prioritized in the ordering and shipping process.
UNICEF Emergency ICT Stock: ITSS maintains a stock of crucial emergency ICT kits (ETR-1,
2 and 3 kits) in the Copenhagen Supply Division. This stockpile is available for any field office;
however, in order to ensure stock maintenance, it is a requirement that field offices requiring
equipment from the stockpile provide ITSS with the necessary budget to replenish the
stockpile. For details on the stock and how to obtain material, please contact ITSS/Operations.
Some things to be aware of when ordering equipment:
-
-
-
Various emergency telecoms equipment is available through direct order (DO) LTAs available on Supply Division’s DO web-site. Wherever possible order standard equipment –
this reduces risk of errors in ordering process. For details on UNICEF’s standards, see
UNICEF Wireless and Emergency Telecoms Standards.
Emergency telecoms related LTAs contain emergency clauses, ensuring rapid delivery
(within days) of equipment after a purchase order has been submitted. (Example: ICE
maintains stock of Thuraya terminals; Danimex maintains stock of VHF and UHF radios;
Codan maintains stock of HF radios; etc.).
For equipment in LTAs without emergency clause, delivery lead time can be various weeks,
it is therefore urgent to initiate procurement as early as possible.
When presenting the supply officer/focal point with the list of material you require, make
sure to:
o Take advantage of in-house stockpile of ETR1, 2 and 3 kits: Field offices requiring
such kits can obtain these through ITSS’ Copenhagen Supply Division stockpile.
o Use emergency PGM option when ordering rather than standard ordering
processes - emergency PGMs speeds up delivery!
o Order equipment from Supply Division’s Emergency Supply List (ESL). Avoid
ordering non-standard material as this can delay shipment.
If non-standard equipment is required: as this material typically has longer delivery
lead-times than standard/LTA items, make sure to order these separately from
standard material. This will reduce risk of delays in delivery of the standard
equipment.
o Whenever possible, order complete kits to avoid risk of errors in ordering.
o Separate orders by supplier – this facilitates for tracking of orders!
o If there are emergency relief flights from Copenhagen/Denmark, seek to have the
ICT equipment prioritized and delivered to Supply Division, for subsequent inclusion
in relief flights.
o Work closely with your supply focal point to ensure orders are correctly processed.
o Keep RO ICT and ITSS informed about status of your orders – they can support
and speed things up.
2.6 Staffing plan
Experience shows that CO ICT staff in emergencies quickly become overwhelmed and
exhausted. Additional ICT resources is therefore often required and it is highly recommended
8
that field office ICT responsible quickly start working with Operations/HR focal point and
Regional ICT Chief to ensure needs for additional staffing is planned for early on in the
emergency. This is especially important in emergencies where a major influx of external
program and operational responder staff is experienced – requiring increased need for ICT
support and services.
Typically a field office in emergency will require support of specialized emergency telecoms
responders, such as radio technicians, VSAT installers, etc., and oftentimes a higher level ICT
coordinator may also be required, to take over running of the ICT operation for the duration of
the emergency.
Specific areas where additional staffing may be required:
- Staff for radio network planning and -programming
- VSAT certified staff
- Help-desk/support staff to handle support to additional responder staff
- Higher-level staff to coordinate and lead the operation, create project plans and funding
requests
Various mechanisms are in place to quickly acquire additional response staff:
- Recruitment of local staff and/or companies to handle day-to-day ICT tasks (such as
customer support).
- Internal secondment of ICT staff from other offices/regions: Regional ICT chief can often
support this
- External secondment of stand-by partner responders: UNICEF Geneva EMOPS is focal
point. Details here. Note: many standby partner responders have been trained in UNICEF
emergency telecoms training curriculum and been deployed worldwide with UNICEF and
other agencies
- Short-term missions by UNICEF service providers for specific tasks (EMC, and others)
2.7 Funding
Often an emergency ICT operation will require additional funding to ensure adequate
access to equipment, staff and services. The ICT responsible should seek (as part of the initial
assessment) to estimate how much additional funding is required and present this to the
supervisor to ensure it is included in the office’s overall request for emergency funding. It is
highly recommended that such budget is shared with the Regional Office and HQ to make sure
nothing is missing. Various funding mechanisms exist – both internal to UNICEF and external and many of these require quick action!
2.8 Equipment
As mentioned above, UNICEF has corporate standards for most telecommunications
material used in emergencies, including radio (VHF, UHF and HF); mobile satcoms (BGAN,
Thuraya, Iridium); Solar-power equipment; etc. Most of this equipment is available in kit-form
from selected suppliers, through dedicated supply contracts (LTAs). Most of these suppliers
maintain guaranteed stock for emergency delivery – this includes BGAN (Thales), Thuraya
9
(IEC), Motorola V/UHF (Danimex), Codan HF (Codan Australia), iDirect VSAT (GSI Inc) and
complete response kits (ETR-1, ETR-2 and ETR-3 – more on these below). Here is some
additional information that will help in determining what you need (exact quantities and types
will be reflected in your (above) assessment and supply plan):
-
-
-
-
-
MOSS compliance requires that staff, vehicles and offices are equipped with adequate
communications means to call for help when required. In most emergencies this means
VHF or UHF (for personal and office use) and HF radio for mobile and inter-office use). If
your office doesn’t have a preparedness stock to rely on, it is urgent to order additional
VHF (or UHF) radios. Rule of thumb: all staff members carry a personal communications
device, typically a VHF (or UHF) handheld radio although in some emergencies a cellphone
may suffice; most vehicles will require mobile V/UHF radios and field vehicles may require
HF radios; offices and key installations (such as warehouses) often will require fixed/base
station V/UHF radios and HF base stations; and most VHF networks require a repeater
station (one for each channel). Please refer to Assessment template (see link below) for
further details.
Data-communications for emergency offices and responders is typically obtained using
BGAN (or ThurayaIP) mobile satcoms in the early stages of the emergency. Experience
shows that if mobile satellite communications services (MSS) airtime consumption is not
closely monitored it can lead to substantial usage costs. Country Offices are recommended
to closely monitor their airtime consumption (service providers such as Thales, Vizada, etc.
can provide such information) and to modify the subscription plans accordingly (see cost
study in the Wireless & Emergency Telecoms Standards document). Note: The Emergency
Telecoms Response 1 (ETR-1) kit contains all necessary equipment to quickly establish
connectivity for a small office. This kit is part of ITSS’ Copenhagen stockpile.
As BGAN and ThurayaIP can be costly in use, it is recommended to quickly migrate to
iDirect or other Internet VSAT service, offering good data-rates at fixed and lower cost than
BGAN. The ETR-2 kit contains an iDirect and network components for establishing
Internet-based small/medium office connectivity.
Later, if the duration and size of the emergency justifies, a full-fledged UNICEF connectivity
solution may be required, using a corporate (EMC) VSAT system. The ETR-3 kit contains
an EMC compatible VSAT and necessary network and wireless components to establish
one or various access points (main office, warehouse, hotel, Representative residence…)
with connectivity for UNICEF applications.
More about ETR-1, 2 and 3 kits: In order to facilitate for quick implementation of datacommunications services, UNICEF has created three standards for data-communications
kits, Emergency Telecoms Response kits 1, 2 and 3 (for full technical details and cost, see
UNICEF Wireless and Emergency Telecoms Standards):
o ETR-1: BGAN (or ThurayaIP) based kit offering full connectivity for a team/small
office, designed for immediate and short-term operation. The kit is housed in a
suitcase-sized case suitable for air-travel. UNICEF has LTA in place with CVG Inc
for rapid delivery of ETR-1 kits.
o ETR-2: Data-connectivity kit for small/medium office. Based around iDirect VSAT
equipment the kit is suitable to be brought in to the emergency as soon as logistical
and technical capacity exists. The kit is housed in heavy-duty transport cases.
Installation of iDirect requires specially trained and certified staff. The kit offers
10
o
Internet access at speeds from 64kbps up to 1Mbps or more (depending on
location/antenna size).
ETR-3: Data-connectivity kit for medium/large office. Based around corporate EMC
VSAT, suitable to be brought to the emergency as soon as logistical and technical
capacity exists, and corporate applications are required.
