Book Details
Contents

During slow-onset crises such as drought, many indigenous societies have developed extraordinary capacities to cope. How can humanitarian organizations, which seek to bring aid to disaster-struck communities, strengthen rather than undermine this local resilience

Published annually since 1993, the World Disasters Report brings together the latest trends, facts and analysis of contemporary crises - whether 'natural' or human-made, quick-onset or chronic.
