Review: The principal concept underlying this manual on Contingency Planning for Emergencies is to strengthen and enhance the operational capabilities of the local government units in responding to any emergency situation in their localities. It stresses the importance of pre-emergency planning throughout every stage of a crisis and a well-managed response that will optimize the strength and capacities of various local DCCs, NGOs, private and volunteer organizations. More importantly, this manual will be a useful reference for disaster managers and will serve as an indicative guide for them in assessing past disaster events or potential hazards that have affected or may likely affect their communities and designing appropriate response thereto. The manual is simple and straightforward to use and presented in a practical and ready reference style.
