increasingly common and complex combination of environmental,
social and cultural factors. Yet existing response frameworks and
emergency plans tend to homogenise affected populations as
'victims', overlooking the distinctive experience, capacities and
skills of children and young people. Drawing on participatory
research with more than 550 children internationally, this book
argues for a radical transformation in children's roles and voices
in disasters. It shows practitioners, policy-makers and researchers
how more child-centred disaster management, that recognises
children's capacity to enhance disaster resilience, actually
benefits at-risk communities as a whole.
