This largely ignores the pre-disaster role of people as the agents of change or stasis and assumes a theory of change that depends on a single forward trajectory based on incremental change to the shelter object, ignoring prior, inexplicable or cyclic changes that are in train before and continue after humanitarian history begins at the moment of disaster (Crawford et al. 2013).
It includes information related to varieties of disasters, roles descriptions, plans and operations.
Although children are often the most affected population group, globally their voices, experiences, perceptions about disasters, and role in the disaster risk reduction (DRR) process are relatively absent in the hazard/risk literature (MacDonald et al. 2012); yet children can, and in many instances do, contribute significantly in reducing disaster impacts.
Interviews explored the effects of disasters, the role of children, and the level at which local children are involved in risk reduction.
