Dear John Twigg,
Thank you for the guidance notes on participation and accountability in
disaster reduction. Thank you for inviting comments. Two comments; a) issues
related to "participation and power" are especially crucial in a disaster
situation; and b) more emphasis on " information and accountability".
You have done such a good job, as always. How do you plan to use this ?
Should you not ?
Thank you,
Yours sincerely,
MIHIR R. BHATT
Honorary Director - Disaster Mitigation Institute
