has released the 2005 Emergency Telecommunications Handbook

The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) has released the 2005 Emergency Telecommunications Handbook.

This Handbook is written to serve as a close companion to those involved in the work of providing as well as using telecommunications for disaster mitigation and relief. While this handbook is meant to be simple, it is comprehensive, compact and contains
useful factual information that is concise and organized for easy access especially by practitioners.

The amateur service, through the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) is one of the major partners in Disaster Response, Mitigation and Prevention. Information on the manual and the companion Brochure can be found here
