=== Post-Earthquake Sanitation Planning === | === Post-Earthquake Sanitation Planning === | ||
Learning Objective: | |||
Team members will plan for sanitation challenges following a major earthquake, focusing on both household-level solutions and strategies for supporting neighborhood health and safety. | |||
Facilitation Guide: | |||
Begin by highlighting the issue: after a major earthquake, water and sewer systems may be disrupted for weeks or months. Without proper sanitation, communities can face outbreaks of disease and unsanitary living conditions. NET teams don’t provide citywide sanitation services, but they can prepare themselves and help neighbors adopt safe practices. | |||
Facilitation steps: | |||
Household Readiness: Ask members to consider how their own families would handle sanitation if toilets, water, and garbage collection were unavailable. Discuss basic options such as: | |||
Two-bucket toilet systems (one for urine, one for feces). | |||
Stockpiling heavy-duty garbage bags, bleach or lime, gloves, and hand sanitizer. | |||
Safe storage and eventual disposal practices. | |||
Neighborhood Considerations: Lead a brainstorm on what sanitation challenges the neighborhood might face after an earthquake: dense housing, lack of outdoor space, vulnerable populations. Discuss how unsanitary practices could affect the whole community (flies, rodents, contamination). | |||
Resources & Education: Share information about PBEM’s sanitation guidance (if available) or provide handouts on safe household systems. Explore whether the team wants to stock sanitation supplies in a cache (toilet seats, bags, lime, handwashing stations). | |||
NET Role: Facilitate a discussion about realistic roles for the team: | |||
Educating neighbors on safe household sanitation systems. | |||
Modeling proper sanitation practices at staging areas or team gathering points. | |||
Identifying community partners (schools, churches) with facilities that might host temporary solutions. | |||
Helping distribute sanitation supply kits if provided by the City or COAD partners. | |||
Action Planning: Agree on one or two team actions, such as adding sanitation topics to the Ops Plan, developing a “Neighborhood Sanitation Tips” flyer, or including sanitation in the next neighborhood drill. | |||
Debrief Questions: | |||
How would each of us handle sanitation for our own households if sewer service was lost? | |||
What sanitation issues might arise in our neighborhood that could affect many people? | |||
What role can our team realistically play in supporting safe sanitation after an earthquake? | |||
What action should we take now (supplies, education, planning) to reduce risks later? | |||
