Visibility Material
In any emergency operation it is important to consider the value of greater UNHCR visibility. There may be various reasons for enhanced conspicuousness, the most important of which are:
a) Security (in certain circumstances)
b) Protection (recognition by authorities and asylum seekers)
c) Public Relations (visibility in the media)
UNHCR holds a stockpile of items which could be used for the above purposes. They are listed below:
EPRS will provide, at no charge to a new emergency operation, a start up supply of up to 50 each, of caps, vests, armbands and T-shirts. EPRS will also provide up to 10 UNHCR flags which are available in two sizes:

large 200 cm x 300 cm
