Governments, NGO s and International Governmental Organisations are working closer than ever to achieve a comprehensive approach to reducing the impact of natural and man-made disasters.
Pooling resources for planning, training and humanitarian aid has proven to be the most effective way in achieving this reduction and increasing the effective management of such disasters.
