Subject: "The audit brings together, for the first time, information on the activity of British individuals and organisations working in disaster mitigation, preparedness and response. Over 170 returned questionnaires, together with interviews, reviews and research form the basis for this book which contains: overviews of the scope, content and regional locations of UK disaster activity, breakdown of organisational types currently active, funding sources, IDNDR focal points, with UK-based and European contacts, directories of individuals and organizations working in disaster mitigation, preparedness and response.This survey appears midway through the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR). It is hoped that as a picture of the current UK capacity and activity it will itself contribute to UK capacity in this vital field in the years to come." --Backcover
