 0.3       Overall Management and Coordination Arrangements

The National Contingency Plan will build on collaboration with governments, relevant MDAs, military and paramilitary, Police Force, CSOs, International Organizations and the UN system. NEMA will collaborate with relevant agencies to monitor, early warning, potential threats and emergency situations to ensure adequate response.  In responding to emergencies, additional programmes may be developed to support humanitarian action such as post-incident rehabilitation and recovery efforts within the respective sector.

 0.3.3   Appeals and funding;

The NEMA disaster management fund (2% of Federal Government`s 20% Share of Ecological Fund) will serve as the major source of funding for the Contingency Plan. The Agency in line with its mandate will provide funds for intervention in the initial 10 days of emergencies before other stakeholders activate their sectoral responses.

 NEMA will collaborate with its development partners for resource mobilizations outside governments during major emergencies.

 0.3.4   Information management;

Information and communication management is an integral part of emergency preparedness and response. It is therefore important that in developing a contingency plan, this section is given a considerable attention. Invariably, a coordinated approach to emergency response requires information sharing, effective communication, clarifications of roles and responsibilities. Therefore for information sharing, the Incident Command System (ICS) will be adopted as contained in the National Disaster Management Framework (NDMF).
