Assessing and responding to land tenure issues in disaster risk management

This manual aims to provide an overview of the major land issues that may arise following a natural disaster which need to be considered and included in the decision-making processes associated with response, recovery and rehabilitation. The disasters included in this discussion are hydrometeorological disasters (such as floods, drought, tropical cyclones, storm surges and tornadoes) and geophysical disasters (such as earthquakes, tsunamis, avalanches and landslides). Most of these disasters are rapid onset and cause extensive loss of life, loss of livelihoods and damage to infrastructure. Drought, a slow-onset disaster, also is considered in these training materials because of its severe global impact and because there are particular land tenure issues associated with extended and recurrent droughts.--Publisher's description
