Providing data base on states of emergency

Documenting states of emergency

Description

Providing a database on states of emergency involves systematically collecting, updating, and disseminating reliable information on declared emergencies worldwide. This strategy enables rapid access to critical data for governments, organizations, and the public, supporting informed decision-making, resource allocation, and coordinated response efforts. By centralizing and standardizing emergency data, it remedies issues of fragmented information, delays in response, and lack of transparency, ultimately enhancing preparedness and effective management of crises.

Implementation

The United Nations Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities maintains information on states of emergency declared since 1985 in different countries.
