Sharing knowledge on disaster risk reduction in the Himalayan region
Proceedings from two workshops on planning processes, social inclusion, and local knowledge for disaster preparedness:
This publication is part of a project which encourages knowledge sharing and aims to strengthen capacity among key practitioners in the field of disaster preparedness and management. The present and final publication documents the results of two important workshops – one early in the project which looked at the status of disaster preparedness planning in the region and one at the end of the project which looked at social inclusion in disaster preparedness plans.
The publications, training sessions, and workshops were undertaken in the context of the ‘Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015’ which recommends that regional organisations should promote sharing of information; undertake and publish baseline assessments of disaster risk reduction status; and undertake research, training, education, and capacity building in the field of disaster risk reduction.
