2010
Livestock play a crucial part in people's livelihoods throughout the world and when humanitarian emergencies arise, rapid assistance is needed to protect and rebuild the livestock assets of affected communities. "The Livestock Emergency Guidelines and Standards (LEGS)" are a set of International guidelines and standards for the design, implementation and assessment of livestock interventions to assist people affected by humanitarian crisis. "LEGS" expands the commitment in the Sphere handbook - the "Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards" in disaster response - towards supporting livelihood assests, by presenting clear and practical options for supporting livestock during the following disasters. "LEGS" provides guidance on the identification of appropriate livestock responses, followed by detailed information on a number of interventions, namely: destocking, veterinary services, the provision of feed, the provision of water, livestock shelter and settlement, and restocking.
