One of the key lesson learnt from the Tsunami 2004 incident is the urgent need of introducing building guidelines to minimize the risk of the building collapses due to disasters.
UNDP supported Disaster Management Centre to form a Technical Advisory Committee and develop building guidelines for disaster prone areas. Especially for the most frequent hazards like floods, landslides and cyclones. "How to make your house safe from natural disasters" is the key publication that was issued by the Disaster Management Centre. The book explains the key points that a lamon or technical officer should consider when putting up a small house.
