Protection in natural disasters
Forced migration review: Disability and displacement, issue 35, July 2010:
This article addresses the need for disaster preparedness plans which protect the most vulnerable and are not discriminatory. It reviews the human rights-based approach to disaster preparedness, response and recovery outlined in the "Operational Guidelines and Field Manual on Human Rights in Situations of Natural Disasters", emphasising the fact that people do not lose their basic human rights as a result of a natural disaster or their displacement.
