Humanitarian Assistance Centres

The consequences of an emergency can be devastating and far reaching for all those affected, both directly and indirectly, including survivors, families, friends and the wider community. Regardless of where the event takes place those affected need to know that there is somewhere that they can access timely and accurate information, advice and support. The intention of a Humanitarian Assistance Centre (HAC) is to provide professional advice that is coordinated, consistent and clear, that meets individuals’ needs and is offered in a sensitive and compassionate manner.

The aim of this plan is to identify the circumstances in which a Humanitarian Assistance Centre would be established in the Devon and Cornwall Local Resilience Forum area and to outline how such centres would operate.
