Acknowledgments
This case study contains material drawn from the author’s own experiences and from a range of reports and papers by other researchers and field operations specialists. It also draws on background papers prepared by UNDP, UNDRO, the World Bank, OFDA, ADPC, and the OAS, and consultant studies by Intertect.
