CCCM Practitioners' Day 2021 - Fire safety in humanitarian settlements
Channel: CCCM Cluster
Date: 2021-07-07

Recent fires in refugee camps in Bangladesh, Nigeria, and Greece have shown how significantly fire can undermine humanitarian assistance. The Camp Coordination and Camp Management Cluster has a vital role to play in reducing fire risks, preparing for and responding to fire incidents, and supporting affected communities to recover after devastating fires. In this session, we will discuss challenges and opportunities for fire risk reduction in humanitarian contexts, and ongoing efforts to improve fire safety coordination at the settlement, country, and international levels.
