Wikipedia:WikiProject Disaster management

This is a WikiProject, an area for focused collaboration among Wikipedians. New participants are welcome; please feel free to participate!

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Disaster Management (a.k.a. Emergency management). We have three main work areas:

Theoretical and background information, including the phrases: Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. This section also covers methods for managing disasters.
Hazards and their impacts, which cause disasters. Examples of hazards include, earthquakes, drought and epidemics. When those hazards impact people, it creates a disaster, such as the Boxing Day tsunami and the World Trade center attack).
Organisations and individuals involved in disaster management

Thank you for taking the time to be a part of educating Wikipedians about managing disasters. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.
