Transition. Transition needs to be considered in responses from the outset. Develop measures including practical global guidance to support HCTs on a) how to ensure transition is considered and addressed from the beginning of a response, particularly in L3 emergencies, and b) how to manage transition as a collective HCT and in cooperation with government.
Include consideration of how to manage issues such as
potential tensions between national government's sovereignty in disaster management, and the international community's (and governments’) principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence.
