This guide has been developed in the context of an increase in risk factors that are affecting people in general, and which have a particular impact on children, adolescents and young people. Its purpose is to provide guidance for Governments regarding the development and implementation of public policies for Disaster Risk Management (DRM). By using a multi-sectorial approach (Child/Youth Protection; Education; Water, Sanitation and Hygiene-WASH; Health and Nutrition) the guide aims to secure the rights of children and youth in all circumstances.
