BACKGROUND

The Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Unit, based at the Grand Serail in Beirut, coordinates Lebanon’s national disaster risk reduction (DRR) efforts and supports their alignment with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.

Over the years, the DRM Unit has played a central coordination role in responding to recurrent crises and emergencies in Lebanon, including forest fires, the Beirut Port explosion, the COVID-19 pandemic, the cholera outbreak, floods, and the recent conflicts in 2024 and 2026. Depending on the scale, nature, and geographical scope of an emergency, the National Operations Room (NOR) is activated to support coordinated emergency management and response across the country.

Against this background, the procurement of IT equipment for the NOR at the Grand Serail aims to strengthen its operational capacity, enhance coordination and information management, and ensure effective and timely disaster risk management and emergency response.

Specifically, the IT equipment will contribute to the following:

1. Improve Communication and Coordination

• Enable efficient and timely information exchange with relevant stakeholders, supporting coordinated action and timely decision-making during emergencies.

2. Strengthen Data Collection, Management, and Analysis

• Facilitate the collection, consolidation, management, and analysis of critical emergency data, including displacement figures, damage and needs assessments, response activities, and resource allocation.

3. Support Digital Tools and Dashboards

• Enable the effective operation of digital information management systems, interactive dashboards, and other monitoring tools used to provide real-time situational updates, track response interventions, and support evidence-based decision-making.

4. Enhance Emergency Preparedness and Response

• Equip the NOR with the technological infrastructure required to support emergency preparedness and response functions, including incident reporting, scenario-based planning and simulations, operational monitoring, and coordination with relevant national and local stakeholders.

5. Ensure Operational Continuity and Reliability

• Strengthen the reliability and resilience of the IT infrastructure required to maintain continuous operations during emergencies, including appropriate backup systems, secure data management, and storage solutions.
