Our HELP Library picks for response to cyclones

08 Feb 2022

In light of Cyclone Batsirai hitting Madagascar, the ALNAP Secretariat is continuing to share resources from our HELP Library on lessons learned from similar disasters. We hope these may prove useful to those responding on the ground. Our thoughts go to all those affected.
