Water and disasters: A practical guide to celebrating and promoting World Water Day
The theme, Water in Disasters, is a call to reach out beyond the community and to link with worldwide efforts by international agencies, multilateral corporations, nongovernmental agencies (NGOs), governments and the community at large. It is an opportunity to capitalize on the energy and commitment of people, and to achieve a common goal: to bring global and local attention and to galvanize action, so that every person on the planet is less vulnerable to the disruption of water and sanitation systems when a disaster strikes.
This guide provides key message on how to prepare for and commemorate WWD. It encourages partners, international organizations, private companies, governments, NGO’s, and the community at large to support and celebrate this unique occasion.
