VA Principle.png

  • an individual;
  • a family / extended family;
  • a group of victims;
  • a community.

The Cause and Needs assessment of individuals are entered in the Victim.

The business rules for calculating which pillar a victim is at must take in consideration the following:

  • There is no global definition of number of pillars
  • There are no mandatory pillars
  • There are no chronological or logical order between pillars
  • A victim may receive assistance of more than one pillar at the same time
  • A victim may receive assistance of a pillar more than once.
