How To Make Cities More Resilient: A Handbook For Local Government Leaders

 The Handbook is built on a foundation of knowledge and expertise of
Campaign partners, participating cities and local governments. It responds
to the call for better access to information, knowledge, capacities and tools
to effectively deal with disaster risk and extreme climate events. It provides
an overview of key strategies and actions needed to build resilience to
disasters, as part of an overall strategy to achieve sustainable development,
without going into great detail. Each city and local government will determine
how these actions apply to their own context and capacities. There is no
one-size-fits-all solution.

The annexes to this Handbook contain more detailed information, including
links to electronic tools, resources and examples from partner cities. A webbased
information platform, where cities and local governments can share
their own tools, plans, regulations and practices, complements the Handbook
and will be available through the Campaign website at www.unisdr.org/
campaign.
