• Agree on procedure for post-fire meeting to identify immediate fire prevention actions and activities
• Ensure that multi‐agency debriefs for serious fire incidents are held, and that meetings are recorded, and key learning circulated
• Separate high‐risk market stalls from the remainder of the market
• Remove storage of combustible material from shelters
• Implement a camp manager fire safety walk as standard practice
• Create a ‘PoC Community Fire Safety Team’ to actively promote fire safety messages within the site
• Implement the use of ‘rotary gongs’ placed around the camp to enable citizens to raise the alarm in the event of a fire
• Put systems in place to allow the water supply to be turned on in affected sectors in the event of a fire during the night
