Mapping in WASH

Last updated 11 months ago

In almost all emergency contexts, there is a basic need to establish access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). According to the Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Humanitarian Response:

Water and sanitation are critical determinants for survival in the initial stages of a disaster. People affected by disasters are generally much more susceptible to illness and death from disease, which to a large extent are related to inadequate sanitation, inadequate water supplies and inability to maintain good hygiene.

Sphere Project 2011

WASH interventions should therefore:

  • provide access to safe water and sanitation

  • promote good hygiene practice with dignity, comfort and security

  • reduce preventable waterborne and communicable diseases

In particular, WHO has provided that should also be considered with WASH.
