Input required

A request to members of Water, Disaster Management and Climate and Disaster Risk Reduction Communities to provide their inputs for the following:

• What types of sanitation units (technologies) are being used during emergencies (e.g. raised latrine, trench latrine, pit latrine, etc.)?
• What type of de-sludging equipments can be used for sanitation during emergencies (e.g. manual buckets/spades, hand pumps, mechanical pump, etc.)?
• What is being used for safe transportation, disposal and treatment of sludge (e.g. designated communal sites/landfills, treatment plant, designated uncontrolled sites, etc.)?
