* In a sudden-onset natural disaster or a rapidly deteriorating on-going crisis, OCHA and its humanitarian partners have several tools to quickly enhance the response and coordination capacity in a country. It has various surge rosters to send additional staff for the first weeks of an emergency, which may then be replaced by longer-term personnel. Surge staff comes from headquarters, regional and country offices, external rosters and partner organisations.
** Ground Sign Awareness is a Counter IED observation skill defined as the ability to identify SIGN (any evidence of change from the natural state that is inflicted upon the environment by the passage of Human, Animal or Machinery) and based on this make sound interpretations and deductions.
