The use of the Internet in the development of a global network for disaster management for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies

Abstract

This article discusses the information needs of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the types of information required and how the development of a world‐wide network, using the Internet, linking national societies and delegations will facilitate the dissemination of this information. The role of the Federation's Information Resource Centre in accessing relevant information and making it available is also discussed.
