Lexpérience de Madagascar

Available in English and French
Produced by the ISDR secretariat and Flycatcher
Duration: 5 minutes

Madagascar is a land of extremes: extreme beauty, extreme biodiversity, but also extreme poverty and above all extreme weather.Every year the population is subjected to a series of cyclones, and in the south of the country there are long and frequent periods of drought. Despite the violence of these storms, the people of Madagascar have actually suffered in 2007 fewer losses due to prevention measures spearheaded by the Government and the National Platform on Disaster Reduction.

One of the key roles of the National Platform is to help reduce the impact of natural hazards and better prepare populations against disasters. The film describes how the National platform works in Madagascar and what is its major role before, during and after disasters.
