Description | SummaryIn humanitarian operations, the security situation may leave us no choice but evacuation and/or relocation as a measure to avoid security risks and ensure the security of humanitarian workers in volatile environments with unacceptable levels of risk . The decision of relocation and evacuation may greatly impact the organisation, the workforce, and their family members. The implementation requires joint action both internally and inter-agency wise. By examining real-world scenarios and case studies, this session will discuss the challenges we face, and best practices in avoiding risk and highlight operational strategies. This session will bring together security professionals and stakeholders from other sectors of the humanitarian community. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of the challenges inherent in evacuating and relocating humanitarian personnel, understand the need to pivot from a development to a humanitarian or emergency operation and be equipped with actionable insights to enhance risk avoidance measures in their respective organisations.
