1. CIVIL MILITARY COORDINATION IN HUMANITARIAN ACTIVITIES

2. Military involvement in national disasters take place only at the request, and under the control, of civilian authorities The military is not in charge

3. The Armed Forces is a supporting agency in the interagency response to domestic emergencies. They are the lead agency for crisis management activities—those measures required to anticipate, prevent, and/or resolve a hostile situation.

4. What makes the military particularly well suited to disaster response is: Speed: Capability for rapid mobilization. Structure: Hierarchical command and discipline. Training: Continual training and preparation Logistics: Material sufficient to fight two simultaneous wars!

5. Disaster response provides opportunities both for training and for serving the public, which can improve unit morale and public respect for the military. The public often judges its government based on how quickly and effectively it responds to various disasters, deployment of the military can provide political benefits. However, for various reasons military intervention should be temporary and local civilian responders should take over as quickly as possible.

6. Emerging Issues The role of the military is changing in response to charges in our society, in the perceived role of the military, and because of the evolving nature of the threats that the military is expected to address. The downsizing of military, constrains the resources available to take on secondary missions such as disaster response. On the other hand, the emergence of new military threats, particularly weapons of mass destruction (chemical, nuclear and biological weapons) in the hands of terrorists, has forced the military to focus on Civil Defense in addition to ships and tanks.

7. To provide man power, vehicles, equipment and radio communication as well as military air craft. In accordance with the national disaster management plan The Military – Civilian Cooperation

8. Examples of military-civilian cooperation to disaster relief include: (1) Protecting emergency food aid registration teams, (2) Protection and helping with logistics: transportation, storage and distribution of emergency food aid, delivery of emergency water supplies, traffic control, communications. (3) Enforcing government’s water usage restrictions. (4) Undertaking search-rescue work. (5) Providing temporary shelter and heating for disaster- stricken people, and carrying out immediate repairs to male damaged facilities safe, until civilian services arrive and (6) Taking charge at the scene of an extreme hazard by organization, providing immediate relief assistance and helping local government restore normal life.

9. At the national level, the most effective way for an efficient military – civilian cooperation is to integrate the capabilities of country’s military forces with the civil authority’s together with the supporting public services, at all stages and all levels of disaster planning and preparedness. The potential of the armed forces to provide well organized, trained and equipped support to the civil authorities and emergency services is great and should become an element of all disaster management plans.

10. The military institutions are known for their rapid deployment, organization, ethos, skills, communications logistics and coherence, which give them important advantages in disaster relief operations. They also present more advantages as readiness (training, equipment), availability (frequency, numbers, variety, resources), integration (coalition, military-civilian organization, flexibility (duration, reaction, ethos, interchange low intensity for high intensity operations), skills (variety, training, endurance), law (civil /military, international, national), culture (social responsibility, political support, history).
