Newly Launched Toolkit for Community Mapping in Health Emergencies: strengthening preparedness, response and resilience
WHO/Europe, IFRC Europe and UNICEF ECARO have launched a toolkit for community mapping to support emergency preparedness and responses for public health emergencies. This toolkit brings together years of lessons from COVID-19, the Mpox outbreak, the Ukraine emergency, natural hazards and other crises across the region.
This joint WHO–IFRC–UNICEF resource provides a clear, practical, and scalable approach for understanding and engaging communities before, during and after emergencies.
The toolkit offers:
- A structured and scalable approach to community mapping
Step-by-step guidance across the emergency cycle - Tips from real emergencies
- Tools to identify key actors, channels, needs, and marginalized groups
A resource guide and overview WHO, IFRC and UNICEF frameworks and standards
Whether you work in health authorities, civil protection, humanitarian operations, local government, CSOs or academia, this toolkit is designed to help you work with communities in a health emergency.
This publication was made possible through the support of the Ministry of Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Affairs of Luxembourg and the Pandemic Influenza Preparedness (PIP) Framework.
