The IOM Emergency Manual is designed to provide practical, operational guidance to IOM staff working in emergency contexts. In addition to providing guidance on IOM procedures and practices, the Emergency Manual also makes available information on Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) frameworks and processes.

To ensure colleagues operating in emergency contexts have access to the latest information and tools, the Emergency Manual is made accessible on an electronic platform. Enabling IOM update, modify and share content as soon as it is available.

Except for guidance describing IOM’s internal management and administrative processes, the content of the manual is publicly available, allowing it to be used as a resource by all humanitarian stakeholders.
