Hi everyone,

Enclosed is a useful Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Bibliography related
to the recent earthquake in Nepal.  The key items are highlighted in yellow
and summarised below.  For those seeking relatives over there, I recommend
you check out the Humanity Road Social Media site (highlighted especially
below). Please pass this information around to interested/involved colleagues.


You may remember that following TC Pam I put out a request for info fro this
network, and one of you linked me into Humanity Road ..they were the 'first
kid off the block' to get a sitrep out..as it's social network based will
be useful seeing info from people in Nepal...
