------------------------------------
The Cluster approach was a key recommendation of the July 2005 Humanitarian Response Review (HRR). The clusters create a single framework for coordination in bringing together a variety of different actors, including international governmental organizations, national and international non-governmental organizations, government and the military, for regular coordination meetings. It was implemented during the response to the South Asia Earthquake in Pakistan for the first time. The UNDAC team, together with the Humanitarian Coordinator and the UN Country Team established a set of ten Clusters, covering the main relief work, in Islamabad. Clusters of particular relevance to the environmental experts included health, water/sanitation, and early recovery and reconstruction. Subsequently, field cluster sites were established in each of the main UN field presences, i.e. Muzaffarabad, Bagh, Batagram and Mansehra, and were called Humanitarian Hubs. In response to that humanitarian emergency, the use of the following coordination structure was agreed upon national authorities and the humanitarian country team:
