Engineering in Emergencies - A Practical Guide for Relief Workers

Armed conflict, drought, famine and other serious disasters create emergencies in which large numbers of people require urgent help. 'Engineering in Emergencies' is a practical handbook for all relief workers involved in giving humanitarian assistance at such times. It provides critical information needed to implement an effective response in the aftermath of an emergency.

The second edition of 'Engineering in Emergencies' maintains the practical content of the first edition but has been revised and updated to reflect developments in humanitarian relief in recent years. The book has been developed with RedR, an international charity that provides training and recruitment services for the humanitarian sector, improving emergency response worldwide.
