ALNAP: Responding to Urban Disasters: Learning from previous relief and recovery operations

The latest ALNAP/Provention lessons paper 'Responding to Urban Disasters: Learning from previous relief and recovery operations' is now available. Download the report as a pdf from the ALNAP website.

ALNAP say:

We have written this paper in response to a common perception in both the humanitarian and disaster risk communities that there is a lack of guidance on disaster response in urban environments - especially if compared with the experiences and materials available on response in rural settings. I hope this paper begins to help fill this gap.
