Organizations and governments have attempted to take stock of the various actors. In India, for example, the Government publishes a ‘Directory of institutions and resource persons in disaster management’, and in Indonesia, the Government publishes the ‘Profile and directory: disaster risk reduction organisations in Indonesia’.6 There are also directories at the international level, maintained, for example, at preventionweb.net." During or immediately after a disaster, for example, this could be within 12-48 hours, up to 72 hours, one week, two to three weeks, or four to six weeks.10 For the post-disaster phase, for ‘building back better’ the information flow could take place over many years.11 Again, however, there are considerable differences between developed and developing countries. The first priority action for the implementation of the Framework is “understanding disaster risk”.
