CoDRRAFollow a middle school student affected by heavy rain to see how responders can use the CPMS handbook.
In the video, a middle school student named Mamoru faces several difficulties after a disaster caused by heavy rain. His experience shows how the Minimum Standards for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action (CPMS) can help responders work through a child's needs.
The video introduces the handbook's ten principles and 28 standards. It focuses on mental health and psychosocial distress, showing how the standards can inform practical support and cooperation between the organisations involved.
The same case can help teams think through their arrangements before a disaster. The links below lead to the video, the Japanese network and an introduction to the handbook.
