Data againts natural disasters establish effectives systems for relief, recovery and reconstruction
Data against natural disasters makes a
valuable contribution to our understanding of the conditions
and actions necessary for establishing effective disaster
management information systems. The volume's
introductory chapters outline the data needs that arise at
different stages in disaster response and explore the
humanitarian community's efforts to discover more
effective mechanisms. These overviews are preceded by an
introduction that summarizes some of the key lessons one may
derive from the six country (Guatemala, Haiti, Indonesia,
Mozambique, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka) case studies that
constitute the rest of the volume. These six case studies
examine country-level efforts to establish information
management systems to coordinate disaster response. Not all
of the attempts proved successful, but they included
important technical and institutional innovations that are
worthy of study. Collectively, they yield important lessons
both for forward-thinking countries seeking ex ante disaster
preparedness and for humanitarian responders hoping to
implement good systems quickly after calamities have struck.
