This briefing paper presents a Salvadoran perspective on the challenges of disaster management and protection of people displaced by disasters. Findings from research into the challenges of protecting people displaced by disasters and how to improve disaster management in urban areas of El Salvador are discussed.

Intended to support the Nansen Initiative, this study is part of a research project commissioned by the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), ‘Urbanisation, disasters, and displacement in Central America and Southeast Asia’ – which combines a global desk study with country studies on El Salvador and the Philippines.

This paper was written and researched by Harkey International Consulting.
