(introduction...)

Self-evaluation schedules comprise a series of questions which the community's emergency committee and the local health personnel put to themselves in order to adjust and evaluate the action taken in the event of a disaster.

The questions in the schedule should be adapted to the specific situation in which action is being taken.

The schedules presented here are models intended to help the communities and the local health personnel to prepare their own self-evaluation. Drawing up self-evaluation schedules in normal times is a useful way of preparing for emergencies.
