This popular book is written for church leaders in disaster-prone regions, affected by hazards including floods, windstorms, droughts or earthquakes.

Its purpose is to increase understanding of disasters and give guidance on the practical things a church and its community can do to prepare for a disaster, respond effectively to it and reduce the risk of it happening again.
