Croatia: Petringa Earthquake Response – Operation Update Report No. 3 (MDRHR004) – Croatia

Summary of the major revisions made to the contingency plan:

Review of the EPoA implementation period: No-cost extension of the 3-month operation timeframe On October 4, 2021, the Croatian Red Cross requested an extension of the implementation period of the Emergency Appeal process by three months to March 31, 2022. The initial implementation period of the EPoA is set to end on December 31, 2021.

The main reasons for requesting an extension are additional EA funding and delays in delivery of purchased goods. With additional funding from EA, CRC plans to purchase Alaska tents needed for winter conditions in the affected areas. Alaskan tents will be used in Petringa and Glina, where weather conditions are particularly harsh and Red Cross branches lost their buildings during the earthquake. They will provide space for psychosocial activities and assistance to children and the elderly in particular, and the extension of the time frame will allow for tenders and delivery of goods, taking into account delivery delays and disruptions in the global transport chain caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which poses challenges to the import of goods (including vehicles, technical equipment, hardware) information technology). Delivery of goods purchased on the global market has been delayed due to disruptions in the transport chains of all imported goods, all other activities stipulated in the revised EPoA remain the same, and their implementation is dependent on the total EA and other funding collected from the CRC to date
