HD preparedness --- Is there such a thing as "HD preparedness" - I know there are activities that really pay dividends when an opportunity presents it self such as relationship building, evidence building etc. But is it recognised as a valued use of time in reality in many organisations (beyond maybe ICRC?). I've seen the importance of activities like relationship building, profile building and maybe for Red Cross promotion of the Fundamental Principles awareness but that time for these activities often get cut when resources, especially senior people's time, is short.
