Suggested preparation: HADR foundations and people-centred assistance
Event and evidence
WHO Thailand's 2 April 2025 account describes Thailand's response to the 28 March Myanmar earthquake, including rescue, medical services and mental-health support.
What the evidence supports
The article is an early account, not an investigation of structural failure or final impacts.
Connect disciplines for analysis
Proposed analysis: identify handovers among site assessors, rescue teams, health professionals and coordinators. Separate known information from questions requiring specialist confirmation. Use this to examine exercise readiness, without attributing real outcomes to training alone.
Apply in an exercise
Project-proposed activity: Map handovers in a fictional urban incident, with readiness checks and a post-exercise reflection. Exercise data are fictional and must be separated from historical facts.
See the process at a glance
A synthesized learning diagram. Read it alongside the lesson and original sources.
Set the scope
Record time, geography, evidence type and unresolved claims.
Connect information and roles
Map actors and information handovers in the fictional task.
Create evidence
Develop a plan with assumptions, owners and rationale.
Review and revise
Record what changed, the evidence behind it and an improvement owner.
Explore a decision
Fictional scenario: a team receives a social-media image of building damage without specialist confirmation. How should it report this?
Learning rationale: make confidence limits visible and preserve questions requiring expertise.
From knowledge to evidence
Map handovers in a fictional urban incident, with readiness checks and a post-exercise reflection.
| Criterion | Proficient | Developing |
|---|---|---|
| Evidence and scope | Separates facts, assumptions and limits with sources. | Combines times or areas without limits. |
| Coordination and artifact | Artifact addresses the task with owners and verification points. | Lists actions without coordination or missing information. |
| Access and dignity | Checks exclusion and explains mitigation. | Primarily prioritizes team convenience. |
| Improvement | Shows how evidence changed a decision. | Declares success without checking assumptions. |
