This annual, global and interdisciplinary publication focuses on all aspects of disaster cause and effect, and the growing millions affected by crisis and catastrophe, from flood and famine to war and economic collapse. Backed by the resources of the 169-nation International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the world's most experienced and extensive humanitarian network, the 1997 report examines key issues, promotes best practice, analyzes recent crisis response efforts from China to Iraq, Somalia and the Caribbean, and offers a comprehensive disasters database.
