In recent years, the world has seen both massive destruction caused
by natural disasters and immense financial and physical support for
the victims of these calamities. So that these natural hazards do
not become manmade disasters, effective systems are required to
identify needs, manage data, and help calibrate responses. If well
designed, such systems can help coordinate the influx of aid to
ensure the timely and efficient delivery of assistance to those who
need it most. 'Data Against Natural Disasters' seeks to provide the
analytical tools needed to enhance national capacity for disaster
response. The editors and authors begin with an overview that
summarizes key lessons learned form the six country case studies in
the volume. Next, they outline the data needs that arise at
different stages in the disaster response and explore the
humanitarian community's efforts to discover more effective
response mechanisms. The country case studies review the successes
and failures of efforts to establish innovative monitoring systems
in the aftermath of disasters in Guatemala, Haiti, Indonesia,
Mozambique, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. 'Data Against Natural
Disasters' will be useful to policy makers and others working in
port-calamity situations who are seeking to design new monitoring
systems or to improve existing ones for disaster response
management.
