CEA in Emergencies
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement always works in partnership with communities. In an emergency, it can be difficult to balance time and limited resources with our commitment to engage with the people in a meaningful way. These resources will offer useful guidance. Explore resources on integrating CEA into conflict, earthquake and extreme weather responses below, or discover all CEA in emergencies resources by using the search function at the bottom of the page. If you’re looking for health related emergencies, you can visit our CEA and Health page.
When working on emergency operations, you should be meeting the below CEA minimum actions. An explanation of where each CEA minimum action sits in the below programme cycle can be found here.
