About the product
Trilingual (English, French and Spanish) in its presentation of some 350 terms associated with disaster management, this Glossary fills a void and fulfills the needs of personnel in this field. It is a valuable contribution as it caters to the need for rapid and unequivocal communication among individuals, teams and institutions in actual disaster response activities as well as in disaster mitigation by prevention and preparedness. It also presents two lists, one of general and basic terms and the other a hierarchy of disaster management terms. This concise, easy to use Glossary should be in your hands if you are in the field.
Este glosario es el resultado del esfuerzo conjunto de varias organizaciones tanto intergubernamentales como no gubernamentales así como de instituciones nacionales, con el fin de publicar una recopilación de términos convenidos internacionalmente relativos a desastres. Dicho esfuerzo recibió el apoyo financiero de algunos países en el marco del Decenio Internacional para la Reducción de Desastres Naturales.
