Assessing and Responding to Land Tenure Issues in Disaster Risk Management

This training manual is for people working in natural disaster risk management and response as well as for people who work in the land tenure sector. In a self-training format this publication aims to provide an overview of the major land tenure issues that may arise following a natural disaster which need to be considered and included in the decision-making processes associated with the whole disaster risk management phases. The publication is the result of a joint initiative between FAO, UN-HABITAT, Early Recovery Cluster of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee working on emergency operations, and the Global Land Tools Network. It has been built within the framework, developed by UN-HABITAT in collaboration with FAO, and integrated into the guidelines for practitioners published by UN-HABITAT in 2010.
