The Republic of the Marshall Islands disaster management reference handbook 2016
The Center for Excellence in Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance (USA), produces country and regional reference books to provide a commonly available baseline of information regarding disaster management environments. This Disaster Management Reference Handbook Series is designed to provide decision makers, planners and responders a basic understanding of regional disaster management plans and structures, including information on key domestic organisations present in the region.
This country book focusing on the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) is intended to be a reference for individuals deploying to conduct disaster preparedness engagements or disaster response operations in the Marshall Islands, but it is not meant to be a checklist or manual for all disaster response operations. The research team conducted extensive research and analysis on existing Marshall Islands plans, policies, and capabilities related to disaster management and risk reduction.
