Concept of the Handbook INTRODUCTORY NOTES 1. The concept of this handbook is that modern disaster management is very much an ongoing national requirement which is important to governments and peoples alike. It has special significance today because of increasing dangers to the world environment. 2. To be effective, therefore, disaster management needs to be implemented as a comprehensive and continuous activity, not as a periodic reaction to individual disaster circumstances. Consequently, national representatives who are charged with disaster management responsibilities have to deal with a wide range of policy, planning, organisational, operational and other matters. It is therefore clearly beneficial if they can have access to relevant guidelines and advice, especially in the form of a ready-reference handbook.
