 Reflecting the insight of ICMC and numerous other agencies and practitioners, the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC)< Guidelines for mental health and psychosocial support in emergency settings provide valuable information to organisations and individuals on how to respond appropriately during humanitarian emergencies. The Guidelines include a matrix, with guidance for emergency planning, actions to be taken in the early stages of an emergency and comprehensive responses needed in the recovery and rehabilitation phases. The matrix is a valuable tool for use in coordination, collaboration and advocacy efforts. It provides a framework for mapping the extent to which essential first responses are being implemented during an emergency.
