Creating/Maintaining a Preparedness and Response Plan Each Save the Children Country Office is expected to have an emergency preparedness and response plan, that will be regularly updated. This preparedness and response plan will have sector topics – including emergency health and nutrition. Actively engage with your country office emergency point person to make sure sector preparedness and response on emergency health is incorporated and updated regularly
