Dear all,
probably most have you have already discovered it, but for those who
haven't, here is a great website:
http://www.proventionconsortium.org
The consortium's objectives are:
Our main objectives:
- To promote a culture of safety through education and training among
leaders and citizens of developing countries
- To support public policy that can reduce the risk of natural and
technological disasters within developing countries
- To support pilot projects and to disseminate information about "best
practices" that have been proven to mitigate the scope and frequency of
disasters
- To develop governments' ability to minimize disasters and to respond
effectively when they occur
- To forge links between public and private sectors, between the scientific
community and policy makers, between donors and victims so that all stake
holders work together to strengthen the economy, reduce pain and suffering
and promote the common good.
Enjoy surfing,
Ana
