Project: "Disaster database comparative analysis"
The "Disaster database comparative analysis" report is available. The study was completed
by LA RED and OSSO, by means of contract with The United Nations Program for
Development, in the framework of Work Group # 3 (about risk, vulnerability
and impact evaluation), that is part of the Inter Agency Task Force on
Disaster Reduction of the International Strategy on Disaster Reduction. The
