Learn more about how communities are organizing to manage risk in a special edition of Biblio-des, a series of selected bibliographies produced by CRID, the Regional Disaster Information Center. This special English/ Spanish issue covers three related topics: community participation and organization, risk mapping and local emergency plans.

It contains essays and descriptions of reference documents, audiovisual materials and books on the subject, including the URL where you can download the full text.

A limited number of print copies of the selected bibliography is available from CRID (see page 8). View a PDF version on the web at www.crid.desastres.net/crid/eng/ tools/tools.htm (scroll down to the section on Biblio-des).
