World Disasters Report 2009 - Focus on early warning, early action
While natural hazards cannot be prevented, they only become disasters because affected communities are vulnerable and unprepared. Early warning systems have been proved beyond doubt to save lives and reduce economic losses at all levels, but they are still not an integral part of disaster management and risk reduction globally. Nor is early action an effective and timely response to early
warning, across different timescales. This report argues that early warning without early action is not enough.

International
Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement: Guidelines for cash transfert
programming
There is a growing body of evidence that cash-based programming
can be a very appropriate and effective form of response,
alone or in combination with other in-kind programmes. Building
on the broad range of cash experiences within the Movement
and in the humanitarian sector, these guidelines help programme
managers identify those situations where cash is appropriate,
and provide practical, step-by-step support to the design
and implementation of cash programmes. The guidelines are
meant for field practitioners who are considering cash as
a possible response for relief or recovery programmes. |
