The contingency plan or the Embassy usually have this list of support network or emergency response team. For your own safety, know and memorise the emergency numbers of your Embassy or Consulate as well as the hotline numbers of police, hospital and fire station.
There are also temporary shelters, Migrant Resource Centers and community clubs or centers that offer help during emergencies such as Red Cross.
Contingency plans and emergency preparedness are integrated document, plan or strategies that are made operational in times of crisis or emergencies or preferably, before they occur, in the host or destination countries of migrants. Emergencies or crisis include political conflict, public unrest, calamities or natural disasters, fire or other accidents that affect a substantive number of people, including the migrants. The importance of these contingency plans is to prepare the government, in partnership with support networks, to protect, provide for the needs, relocate or evacuate the migrants when the crisis or emergency escalates, and ensure that they are safe, secure and protected. Being a migrant, it is also important for you to be familiar with the contingency plans.
