Myanmar - Surviving the Storm: Self-Protection and Survival in the Delta

This study explores the perceptions and realities of people living in parts of the Irrawaddy Delta affected by Cyclone Nargis, which struck Myanmar on the night of 2 May 2008. It is based on field research and interviews with several hundred people, including villagers from affected communities, community workers, and the staff of local and international aid agencies. The majority of research was undertaken in late 2009 over a period of two months, in two Townships, by a team of four expatriates, and 15 local researchers from to Myanmar CBOs.
