Publication date: March 2012

Overview: In 2008, a 成人快手 World Service Trust policy brie铿乶g argued that people affected by earthquakes, 铿俹ods or other emergencies often lacked the information they needed to survive and that this only added to their stress and anxiety.

maintained that humanitarian agencies were increasingly effective and coordinated in getting food, water, shelter and medical help to people affected by disasters, but were neglecting the need to get often life-saving information to them.
