The
Virtual Health Library for Disasters incorporates the works of
many new partner organizations and consequently offers a much broader
variety of information. The Virtual Health Library for Disasters is now
truly a global collection. It is the result of a process of consultation
and exchange among the disaster and emergency programs of WHO and PAHO,
all WHO technical divisions, other United Nations agencies such as UNHCR,
UNICEF, the ISDR, the International Committee for the Red Cross, the Sphere
Project, NGOs such as OXFAM and national organizations such as Costa Rica's
National Emergency Commission.
