SADKN portal guidelines report
This document reports on the SAARC Disaster Knowledge Network (SADKN) initiative, a web-based interface that is intended to provide an opportunity to the people of South Asia to access the latest information and communication technology for disaster risk reduction and management activities and initiatives. It aims at establishing an environment which encourages to create, learn, organize, share, and reuse knowledge.
The report has been drafted in three volumes. Volume I broadly defines the unit, form, format and frequency of information to be shared by the member associates.

It also provides a hand-holding approach for the maintenance related activities for the SADKN portal. Volume III of the report consists of technical specifications and operational guidelines for SADKN portal development and establishment.
