2. Guiding Questions for the Preliminary Scenario Definition (PSD)(session 10) Information in Disasters Workshop Tanoa Plaza Hotel, Suva, Fiji June 2011

3. Secondary data review (SDR) MIRA: Primary data is (post-disaster) data collected by the assessment team in the field, or by others using the same instruments, to inform the PSD/MIRA reporting. Community Level Assessment All other sources are considered secondary, and can be divided in pre- and post-disaster sources Census, baseline surveys, livelihood profile, satellite imagery, sitreps,... Secondary Data Review (SDR): The process of collecting and analysing secondary data

4. What are we looking for?

5. Purpose of SDR Pre disaster information review: To provide up-to-date analysis of the situation prior to the crisis To describe pre existing vulnerabilities that may be affected by the current crisis To ensure that lessons learned from past and/or similar type of crisis are captured To provide a baseline with which to compare your primary data collection results Post disaster information review: To support the identification of what and where the problems are (or might be) and which groups is (or may be) affected To Identify information gaps and needs To help the design of further primary data collection, support the site selection, closed questions … To triangulate/validate the results of the primary data collection

(livelihoods, transitional shelter, governance, security and rule of law, environment, reintegration, and restoration of basic services) What name will the cluster go by? GIL? What is the access to basic infrastructure and services? What is the access to sustainable livelihoods? What is the total cost of reconstruction? What is the cost of the damage, losses and disruptions? When will the early recovery network be established? When does the transition phase begin? What assessments are being conducted? What is the environmental impact?

13. Health What are the immediate health needs? What are the key health issues or health risks? Are health facilities functioning or staffed? What is the scale of the damage to the health infrastructure and health care personnel? Is there access to critical health services? Is there access to mental health and reproductive services?
