Living
with Risk:
Global Review of Disaster Reduction Initiatives
Living
with risk: a global review of disaster reduction is the first comprehensive
effort by the United Nations system to take stock of disaster reduction
initiatives throughout the world. Coordinated by the Secretariat of the
International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR), the report discusses
current disaster trends, assesses policies aimed at mitigating the impact
of disasters, and offers examples of successful initiatives. It also recommends
that risk reduction be integrated into sustainable development at all
levels global, national and local.
The full text of the
prelimary publication is available on ISDRs
websites (www.eird.org and www.unisdr.org)
The final publication will be available early 2003.
