dc.description.abstractThis review of “Disaster Management: Policy and Practice” was conducted over three months by the Institute of Policy Studies of Sri Lanka in collaboration with and financial support from Oxfam America. It is intended to assist the government, NGOs and other stakeholders to improve disaster management in Sri Lanka. It is just over a year since the Parliamentary Select Committee on Natural Disasters presented their recommendations and it seems timely to review whether their recommendations have been implemented in practice. This report is based on an analysis of the legal and policy documents, interviews with stakeholders from government, civil society and the private sector, field visits in Ratnapura, Hambantota and Ampara, a workshop in Hambantota on 25 September 2006 and a national workshop in Colombo with over 90 participants on 28 September 2006.en_US
