Restoring family links in Disaster : Manual

By ICRC (Author)
Published : 2009

Description

When disaster strikes, the need to know where and how relatives are – if they have survived, if they need help – is a priority. Beyond this immediate need in the acute phase of a disaster, the psychological, physical and social recovery of individuals and communities depends heavily on the family. The Field Manual is intended mainly to help those responding to RFL needs in disasters to plan and carry out their work. It provides operational guidance on RFL in disasters, based on field practice and outlines the potential role of the Movement’s components.
