The Integrated National Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Programme (Jaheziya) has launched the unified and integrated national programme for community preparedness and response, "Community Readiness", with the aim of training and qualifying one million community responders from members of the public, volunteers, students, employees and community teams, enabling them to provide safe and organised initial response during the first critical minutes of emergencies, crises and disasters until the arrival of the competent authorities and frontline response teams.

The "Community Readiness" programme is based on an integrated national framework encompassing institutional readiness, community readiness and international readiness, in partnership with government, private, civil, military, healthcare, security, ambulance and community organisations, as well as public benefit institutions.

The programme is supported by a network of international scientific, training and accreditation partnerships with leading universities, training centres and professional institutions in the United States, Canada, Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. These partnerships strengthen knowledge transfer, the localisation of specialised programmes, the qualification of national trainers and the implementation of unified standards that ensure training quality.
