Preferred term

Relief Rules  

Definition

  • During the chaos of a disaster, it sometimes seems both irrational and impractical for relief agencies and practitioners to suggest that those working in relief need to be guided by rules and guidelines. Yet it is precisely this chaotic environment that strengthens the case for regulations, guidelines, and conventions. [Source: Encyclopedia of Disaster Relief; Relief Rules]
