Info

The purpose of these Guidelines is to ensure a team intending to undergo an IEC or IER process is familiar with the planning, preparation and delivery requirements. USAR teams are strongly encouraged to familiarise themselves with the contents of these Guidelines. An IEC or IER is a demanding process that is not to be underestimated. It requires the total executive and operational commitment of the sponsoring agency, the USAR team as well as several other stakeholders to ensure success. Any questions arising from these IEC/IER Guidelines should be directed to the INSARAG Secretariat and/or your IEC Mentor. 2 IEC Guidelines, 2011 Edition
Foreword by Toni Frisch, Chairman of INSARAG INSARAG External Classification(IEC) – “Guarantee of Effective and Professional International Assistance” More than 20 countries have successfully undergone the INSARAG External Classification (IEC) since it started in 2005, while many others have shown keen interest or are preparing their Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) teams for upcoming IECs. This process has since facilitated capacity building and ensured minimum standards and matching capabilities to needs and priorities. IEC teams are well recognized by the INSARAG tab they wear, and have most recently proven to be a professional value adding resource to earthquake affected countries such as Indonesia and Haiti, in the immediate aftermath. To this very day it remains a truly unique process that establishes verifiable operational standards and a humanitarian example of how independent peer review can be a great added value in response preparedness and at the times of response. In a world in which disaster response is becoming more complex, INSARAG has provided a commendable model to the rest of the humanitarian community demonstrating how the IEC continues to provide a global level strategic approach to ensure that there are well qualified and professional teams all around the world in every region and specifically close enough to potential disaster prone areas, ready to respond at a moments notice. Affected countries will now be able to know what type of assistance they can expect to receive and INSARAG classified USAR teams working alongside each other will be able to know the capacities each can offer – a professional response meeting the standards set in the INSARAG Guidelines, a team that speaks a common global USAR language, a team that will make a REAL Difference in the life saving phase of a disaster. The INSARAG External Classification/Reclassification Guidelines document is prepared based on the experiences and feedback from experienced IEC classifiers and classified teams, and aims to be a valuable guide to USAR teams globally as it carefully outlines requirements and expectations from Governments, USAR teams, NGOs, IEC mentors and IEC classifiers. It further remains a living document and will be updated accordingly to the operating environment. Ambassador Toni Frisch INSARAG Chairman 3 IEC Guidelines, 2011 Edition
