World Disasters Report 2001

International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies video for the World Disasters Report 2001 "Focus on recovery"

The World Disasters Report 2001 examines how governments and aid agencies are working to promote recovery from mega-disasters in India and Bangladesh. Chapters on Venezuela and Viet Nam propose ways to avoid 'reconstructing the risk' following floods and mudslides. The report presents a methodology for social-sector rehabilitation, based on a pilot project in post-conflict Somalia and analyses root causes of hunger in Tajikistan. Further chapters look at the recovery of local economies and the role of volunteers in disasters. For the first time, the regular data chapter includes statistics comparing the effects of natural disasters and conflicts around the world.
