This volume details the community-level research conducted as part of the evaluation of the Disasters Emergency Committee response to the 2001 Gujarat earthquake. The objective was to document the views of the communities (beneficiaries and others) regarding the earthquake response (by Committee agencies and others). The evaluation focused on agency adherence to the 10 points of the Red Cross Code of Conduct in addition to the targeting of interventions, with the shelter sector as a specific area of interest.
