DISASTER MISMANAGEMENT
In the table below, we list the problems concerning disaster mismanagement and the proposed solutions from various sources. This table and all the others in the CEPIP database will be updated after we receive and process submissions, both internal (from our team, associate members, and affiliate organizations) and external (supporters and site visitors).
We invite all visitors to submit their own problems and recommendations, so we can look at our collective input, work on our feedback together, and figure out how to implement the proposed solutions.
