Those Emergency assessment checklists were developed to be used by ACT International members undertaking an emergency assessment, and planning to submit an Appeal or Rapid Response Fund proposal.  They are for all members of ACT International, and no specific technical expertise is required to use them.

Checklists have been developed for a Rapid Emergency Assessment (ANNEX 1) and a Detailed Emergency Assessment (ANNEX 2).  While the checklists are taken mainly from the Sphere Handbook, they also benefit from other important reference documents, found on the last page of ANNEX 2.
