The Government has adopted a resolution on the creation of a State Information System for the Coordination of Evacuation and Assistance to Persons from TOT and Frontline Territories (State Information System for the Coordination of Evacuation). The document clearly distributes responsibilities among state bodies, local self-government bodies and public organisations responsible for evacuation and provides for an assessment of the needs of evacuees.
“Our task is to ensure a clear, safe and understandable evacuation route for each person. From the moment of departure from dangerous areas to placement in safer communities, the process must be as convenient, transparent and coordinated as possible. We are working to ensure that people receive assistance without delay and that their stay in transit centres is kept to a minimum. This is not only a matter of organisation, but also of respect for everyone who is forced to leave their home because of the war,” said Deputy Prime Minister for the Restoration of Ukraine, Minister of Community and Territorial Development Oleksiy Kuleba.
The Ministry of Development coordinates the process through the Coordination Headquarters, while the Ministry of Social Policy is responsible for social support and reintegration, and the State Emergency Service is responsible for security, notification and the technical aspects of evacuation.
Local administrations and local self-government bodies directly implement evacuation measures on the ground: they make decisions, set up assembly points, carry out notification, registration, transportation and accommodation of people, coordinate the work of social workers and provide domestic support.
Multidisciplinary teams will be set up at transit centres. Their task is to assess the needs of evacuees, determine the evacuation route and ensure that comprehensive services are provided in the areas to which people are being relocated. The work of multidisciplinary teams (social workers, psychologists, lawyers, doctors) will be coordinated by the National Social Service of Ukraine.
Всі відомості вноситимуться до Державної інформаційної системи координації евакуації. Єдина інформаційна система дасть змогу скоротити час очікування та підвищити якість надання послуг евакуйованим людям на кожному етапі — від транзитного центру — до розміщення в місці тимчасового проживання у приймаючій громаді. Впровадження системи протягом трьох місяців має забезпечити Міністерство соціальної політики, сім’ї та єдності, яке й адмініструватиме її.
