CASE STUDY JAPAN – real time coordination
Lessons learned for better simulation exercises
Lessons learned from major operations
Japan triple disaster (March 2011):
agencies (good) and with population (mixed)
communication (to improve)
police, fire brigade, Red Cross, UN, municipalities (very good – but limited flexibility)
family links

“The use of military assets by a component of the Movement – particularly in countries affected by armed conflict and/or strife or other violence – should be a last resort: it can be justified only by the serious and urgent need for life saving humanitarian action and when there is no alternative means
Any use of military assets should be prompted by needs rather than availability.”
Council of Delegates Decision, 2005

IDRL Guidelines and Civil Military Coordination
up a pre-registration system for humanitarian actors
should be distinguished – often require high level government approval
consent, and after consideration of civilian alternatives.
