Disaster Management : A disaster manager's handbook

---

This book stems from a regional technical assistance project that was
approved by the Asian Development Bank in January 1990 under the title
“Regional Study of Disaster Mitigation.” The objectives of the study were
(i) to enhance the awareness of the ADB’s developing member countries
(DMCs) of the need for an active developmental effort to mitigate the impact
of natural disasters; (ii) to produce authoritative documentation on disaster
management practices in selected DMCs; (iii) to improve the understanding
of the techniques of disaster mitigation through structural and nonstructural
mitigation practices; and (iv) to provide a forum for an exchange of
experiences in and views on designing and implementing national strategies
for mitigating the impact of natural disasters on economic development, and
the formulation of national and regional strategies.
Financed by a technical assistance grant, the study included a regional
seminar held in October 1990 for representatives of DMCs concerned and
dealing with the formulation of country-specific disaster management
responses. This seminar led to two publications. The first was a volume
entitled Disaster Mitigation in Asia and the Pacific which was published in July
1991, drawing on the lessons of experience and current disaster management
practices in Bangladesh, Nepal, Philippines, and countries in the South
Pacific, with a view to designing a general response mechanism for addressing
identified gaps in existing disaster mitigation practices in the region.
