<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>An interactive guide for relief workers on the frontline of disaster response. Under conditions of great pressure and high stakes, how do relief workers make good decisions? The interactive stories put the reader in the driving seat of the decision-making process, supported with relevant teaching from the author's 15 years of frontline field work<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>The aggressive, armed militia member in front of you wants fifty dollars to let you deliver your medicine to a war-zone clinic which is running desperately low on stock.</strong></p> <p>How would you respond?</p> <p>Responding to disasters - whether natural or man-made - can be incredibly challenging. With more and more people on the frontline of humanitarian response, how can they - and the organisations that send them - be sure that they are making good decisions?</p> <p>This practical handbook, full of interactive stories, develops the reader's skill in making effective decisions when it really counts.</p> <p>Decision Making in Disaster Response's field-tested strategies are based on the author's fifteen years of experience at the frontline of humanitarian response in Iraq, Jordan, South Sudan, the Balkans, the Philippines and more. Its practical training sections are developed from real life scenarios faced by the author and his colleagues. The supporting theory behind the decision-making process has been tried and tested in situations of high stakes and great pressure. The results are engaging, memorable and readily-applicable strategies for new and experienced relief workers alike.</p> <p> </p>
