The PDNA of the 2014 Pico do Fogo volcanic eruption provides the country of Cabo Verde with an assessment based on an internationally accepted methodology for resource and partnership mobilization in order to recover and reconstruct after a disaster event

This report presents an economic impact assessment of the Boxing Day 2015 flooding on small and medium sized businesses (SMEs). It is aimed to support the evidence that the Calderdale Flood Commission collates to make recommendations to Government, the Council, the Environment Agency, the community and businesses, about the effects of recent flooding and lessons for possible future flooding. This report will assist policy makers and local stakeholders to take effective action based on what the community of SMEs needs to recover and continue to provide jobs, products and service for local communities.

This study hopes to contribute valuable lessons learned and share best practices from the program to the shelter/WASH recovery communities of practice within the humanitarian sector as a whole.
