Dear Mr Avtandil Talakvadze,

 

With this email I would like to inform you that WHO is planning to carry out multi-country simulation exercise (South-Caucasus countries; at least Azerbaijan and Georgia) focused on a flood event, combined with an eventual outbreak of an infectious disease.

The simulation is provisionally planned for March/April 2018. At present WHO relevant technical team is working closely with the HQ training team in developing a scenario for a Table Top and Functional Simulation Exercise.

 

To be able to continuo preparations for the simulation exercise we need a confirmation from the Ministry of Labour, Health and Social Affairs that Georgia agrees with the simulation exercise. We envisage that WHO will cover the costs of the exercise.

 

A scoping mission to Georgia is planned end of January-beginning of February 2018, to explain and prepare the simulation exercise, once the ministry agrees with it.

 

Thank you in advance.

 

Kind regards,

 

 

Marijan Ivanusa
