The management of the IFRC camp for impoverished and densely populated people after the Haiti earthquake in 2010 faced difficult and potentially very divisive decisions over allocation of shelter, in a camp where tensions were already high. IFRC developed a communication strategy to address these issues. This paper overviews the implementation of the strategy and the feedback received.
