Disaster Funds: Lessons & Guidance on the Management & Distribution of Disaster Funds

Please find reproduced below, in full, an email from Dr. John Twigg

Disaster Action - a great organisation - has just released what looks like a really useful new publication:

"Controversy surrounds many disaster funds, even decades after they were launched. Little guidance is available to those who take on the responsibility of managing and distributing funds in accordance with the wishes of the donors. Disaster Funds: Lessons & Guidance on the Management & Distribution of Disaster Funds, published by Disaster Action with support from the DCMS and the British Red Cross, fills that gap. It is an essential resource for emergency planners, fund trustees, administrators and managers."
