FIJI SHELTER HANDBOOK
The Fiji Shelter Handbook focuses on shelter coordination and response in Fiji.
The handbook holistically supports the shelter sector’s preparedness for and response to disasters such as cy-clones, floods, droughts, earthquakes and tsunamis. This support is especially relevant in the context of the severe climate change impacts faced by Pacific nations like Fiji.
One of the key challenges faced by the sector is the timely deployment into relief and the transition into early recovery and lasting resilience.
This is important to ensure affected communities are pro- vided a pathway to durable shelter solutions as quickly as possible.
