Question

Besides National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, who else should domestic frameworks include?

• A. Only international aid organizations
• B. Other domestic civil society groups
• C. Solely military personnel
• D. No other groups besides government entities

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Other domestic civil society groups

Besides National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, domestic frameworks should also include other domestic civil society groups.

This is because a comprehensive approach to disaster management requires the involvement of various local actors. Civil society organizations often have deep community roots and specialized knowledge, which makes them crucial partners in all stages of disaster management, from community-level preparedness and awareness to providing on-the-ground relief and supporting long-term recovery efforts. Including them ensures that the frameworks are more effective, inclusive, and responsive to local needs.
