3. UNDAC/INSARAGThe United Nations Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) is part of the international emergency response system for sudden-onset emergencies. It is designed to help the United Nations and governments of disaster-affected countries during the first phase of a sudden-onset emergency. UNDAC also assists in the coordination of incoming international relief at national level and/or at the site of the emergency. International Search and Rescue Advisory Group (INSARAG)INSARAG is a global network of more than 90 countries and organisations under the United Nations umbrella. INSARAG deals with urban search and rescue (USAR) related issues, aiming to establish minimum international standards for USAR teams and methodology for international coordination in earthquake response based on the INSARAG Guidelines endorsed by the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 57/150 of 2002, on “Strengthening the Effectiveness and Coordination of International Urban Search and Rescue Assistance”
4. The On-Site Operations Coordination Centre (OSOCC) is a rapid response tool that provides a platform for the coordination of international response activities in the immediate aftermath of a sudden-onset emergency or a rapid change in a complex emergency. It is at the same time both a methodology and a physical location for on-site emergency response coordination. The OSOCC is designed to work in support of the Government of the affected country and is a tool promoted and supported by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) to carry out its mandate of coordination and information management in emergency response, particularly at the field level.On-Site Operations Coordination Centre
5. OSOCCAn OSOCC may operate under one of three general models:Direct coordination of response activities at the request of a Government;2. Coordination of specific aspects and support of others in cooperation with the Government;3. In support of the RC/HC.In most instances, the OSOCC will be established and operated by an UNDAC team on behalf of OCHA in support of the Government and the RC/HC.
6. • To assist national authorities with the coordination ofinternational assistance on-site, particularly USAR teams• To facilitate information exchange between internationaland national relief actors (meetings, reports, lists, etc.)• Provide a platform for joint operations planning forinternational respondersOSOCC• Establish coordination infrastructure (sub-OSOCC(s) andReception/Departure Centres, when needed)• Facilitate logistics support for international responders incooperation with local authorities
7. • The OSOCC is established by the UNDAC Team• In the absence of an UNDAC team, first arrivingUrban Search and Rescue Teams should establish anOSOCC until the UNDAC team has been deployed• International USAR teams strength the OSOCC andtake active part in the planningof the USAR operationEstablishment Considerations
8. The Cluster SystemCluster partners may include United Nations agencies, national organizations, the RedCross/Red Crescent Movement and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs).Global Cluster Lead Agencies, who report to the ERC, have been designated by the IASC (Inter-Agency Standing Committee) for 11 sectors of humanitarian activityAs a coordination platform, the OSOCC provides an opportunity for clusters to plug into an established coordination mechanism as soon as they arrive on-site.Other coordination cells may already be set up under the umbrella of national coordination mechanisms, such as EMT coordination with the Ministry of Health (MoH), and only link up with the OSOCC for information exchange.
