CiNii 図書 - Mozambique & the great flood of 2000

Mozambique and the Great Flood of 2000 Frances Christie and Joseph Hanlon Analyzes the effectiveness of Mozambican and international relief efforts. The devastating rains and floods of early 2000 in southern Mozambique broke all records, killing 700 people, but a remarkable outpouring of domestic and international support saved 50,000 lives and prevented the disaster from turning into a catastrophe. Frances Christie and Joseph Hanlon examine the causes (both natural and human-made) of the floods and the nature of the relief effort. Asking what went right, what went wrong, and what lessons might be learned from this case, they find that the relief effort was largely a success of international cooperation. Mozambique and the Great Flood of 2000 probes the effectiveness of various forms of aid, the extent of cooperation among agencies and governments, the amount of money raised through international public appeals, the use of relief funds, and the effectiveness of initial efforts at reconstruction. Documenting the experience of the floods, the authors provide important insights for future emergency planning and management in Mozambique and elsewhere. Frances Christie is a Mozambique-based journalist with many years of experience working with the Mozambican and United Nations disaster response systems. Joseph Hanlon is a writer and former journalist for New Scientist. This is his fifth book on Mozambique.

内容説明

Was the country prepared? How does an African country act to prevent a disaster becoming a catastrophe? The devastating rains and floods of early 2000 in southern Mozambique broke all records. 700 people were killed but 50,000 people were saved. Personalstories are used throughout to recapture the awful realities. * Was the international aid useful? Some went wrong. A surprising amount went right. Some specialist interventions went well; the Americans located people, the Austrians concentrated on water purification. * What can be learned for the future? What are the implications for river management and emergency preparation? Frances Christie draws on her experience with the government's own disaster response system and with the United Nations. * Will such floods come again? Did the rain that should have fallen on Ethiopia fall on the Zambezi? Joe Hanlon, author of four other books on Mozambique and formerly of the New Scientist, cross-examines the mythology with science.
