Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) is an important aspect of emergency and disaster management. This covers a wide-range of interventions and services and should be preceded by careful assessment and planning within the local context, which would include the local perceptions of distress and illness, coping mechanisms, and the mapping of the community’s capacity to cope. In the Philippines, the National Disaster Coordinating Council MHPSS Sub-committee saw a need to develop a Rapid Assessment Tool for Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings (MHPSS-RAT) which will provide immediate assessment of the vulnerable population and relevant resources in the first twenty-four hours of onset in mass emergencies and disasters. The tool was based on the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) guidelines and developed through collaboration with the Department of Health-Health Emergency Management Staff (DOH-HEMS) and consensus of national agencies involved in disaster response, with inputs from local experts and concerned stakeholders. It was designed to allow planners and analysts to easily identify priority areas and provide sufficient information to rapidly design appropriate interventions and programs. It is recommended that further validation and field testing be done once the final draft is approved for national use.
