Outline Background Situation Update Areas of concern Questions

Provide an overview of CJOC CONPLAN 20855/14 RENAISSANCE Aim Provide an overview of CJOC CONPLAN 20855/14 RENAISSANCE CJOC CONPLAN RENAISSANCE is a Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Humanitarian Operations Contingency Plan for the conduct of emergency assistance to nations affected by natural disasters. CONPLAN RENAISSANCE replaced CONPLAN GRIFFON

Definitions Humanitarian Operations (HO): These are international military operations conducted where the prime task is purely to assist agencies of the humanitarian enterprise in the delivery of humanitarian assistance. The CAF conducts HO as part of the GoC’s efforts to promote international peace and stability. The CAF provides military assets to complement the Canadian national response as developed by DFATD, as part of CONPLAN RENAISSANCE. Disaster Relief Operations (DRO): These are domestic operations conducted by the CAF to assist disaster relief efforts by federal or provincial agencies either at their request or when appropriate authorities have determined that assistance is necessary and the operation is duly authorized. The DART could be used and employed as part of the DRO contingency plans: LENTUS (Canada) HURRICANE (USA & Mexico)

Humanitarian emergency response Protection of civilians Provision of food, water and sanitation, shelter Primary medical care GoC decision CONPLAN RENAISSANCE Rescue Immediate Lifesaving Relief Stabilization Recovery General Recovery Event When a humanitarian emergency occurs, the response can be broken down in 3 stages : Rescue, Relief and Recovery Protection of civilians Provision of food, water and sanitation, shelter Primary medical care The assistance provided to an affected nations is to facilitate the return to normal lives and livelihoods. CONPLAN RENAISSANCE is designed to address and act on all phases of the Disaster Response (Approx 1 to 7 Days) (Approx 8 to 50 Days) (50 Days +)

The Whole of Government Whole of Government denotes public service agencies working across portfolio boundaries to achieve a shared goal and an integrated government response to particular issues. Approaches can be formal and informal. DFATD is the lead, we are in support DND supports WoG as an integrated effort Expect to have to work and coord with our partners to ensure the best application of our WoG efforts and resources All trg efforts must include provision for trg with WoG partners

CAF Humanitarian Operations CDS Intent Deploy quickly to create strategic effect while ensuring appropriate and timely HA in all stages of a response following a disaster Readiness and effectiveness will be the hallmarks of our contributions CAF elements maintained at high readiness primarily for humanitarian operations Task-tailored and scalable response to meet the needs at hand DART can deploy partially, independently or as part of a larger organisation The CAF want to be able to create strategic effect in all phases of a disaster and be able to transfer those capability to the appropriate agency. 1. As part of a coordinated GoC response, the CAF will be ready to deploy quickly to create strategic effect while ensuring appropriate and timely HA in all stages of a response following a disaster. 2. Readiness and effectiveness will be the hallmarks of our contributions to overseas commitments. Preparation of these capabilities will be leveraged during ongoing force generation activities and training. 3. Designated CAF elements will be maintained at high readiness primarily for disaster relief or humanitarian operations. The deployment of any or all of these elements will constitute a modularized DART; and 4. Organisationally, the DART construct will be a portfolio of response capabilities which can deploy partially, independently or as part of a larger organisation. In designing an appropriate, task-tailored response that is scalable given the situation at hand, other non-designated CAF assets could be selected for deployment as part of the high readiness-based response or as part of a larger CAF contribution beyond the DART-based capabilities

Since the May 12, 7.3 magnitude earthquake that struck Nepal, northeast of Kathmandu, the Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART) continues to work and share their expertise with the Nepalese Government, local authorities and international aid organizations to meet Nepal’s needs. Elements of the DART already deployed to Nepal in response to the April 25 earthquake continue to provide emergency medical relief to victims and since we commenced operations on May 5th, our medical team has treated more than 600 people. In addition, over 21 DART personnel helped in the construction of a shelter, and an operating room at Joparti Napel Orthopedic Hospital. Elements of the DART are providing engineering support to the Nepalese Army to clear rubble and landslides from the Friendship Highway to allow movement of personnel and aid.

(2) It is reported that a Parliamentary Monitoring Committee has made a decision to move 62 settlements in Dhading District because of unsafe conditions (building set to collapse) and shortages of food, water and sanitation. They are being relocated to places that may be easier to service. It is possible that this will have an immediate impact on land-owners who do not wish to re-locate. CHINA NEPAL New Delhi INDIA Pokhara Mt Everest Kathmandu CJOC J2 Assessment: Direct and collateral (terrorism) threat to CAF personnel operating in Nepal is LOW. As with other humanitarian disasters the health hazard IVO the disaster area is assessed to be HIGH based on a lack of sanitation and improper hygiene.  The threat from crime is currently LOW. The greatest hazard comes from the possibility of further infrastructure damage following more aftershocks and heavy rains triggering landslides as Monsoon season is approaching (June-September).
