| description |
This book is designed for governments
that make decisions on the application of preventive
resettlement programs as disaster risk reduction measures,
as well as for institutions and professionals in charge of
preparing and implementing these programs, civil society
organizations participating in resettlement and risk
reduction processes, and at-risk communities. The basic
premises of the guide are that resettlement as a preventive
measure should be incorporated in comprehensive risk
reduction strategies in order to be effective; and that
resettlement's objective is to protect the lives and
assets of persons at risk and to improve or at least restore
their living conditions. The guide has two parts. The first
consists of two chapters. The first of these looks at
disasters occurring worldwide and their impacts, and
discusses strategic frameworks for disaster risk reduction.
The second chapter analyzes resettlement as a preventive
measure in the context of comprehensive risk management
policy. It examines the relevance of resettlement according
to the type of natural hazards and to their characteristics,
as well as the savings achieved by promoting this type of
resettlement rather than handling a disaster generated
emergency and recovering from it. In this chapter,
preventive resettlement is to be included in the public
policy sphere, since it is based on recognition of the
rights and responsibilities of public, private, and civil
society stakeholders, and is to be guided by principles of
effectiveness, equity, and general public well-being. |
