Synopsis
The aggressive armed militia member in front of you wants $50 before he’ll let you deliver your cargo of essential medicine to a war-torn town’s clinic. Your agency prohibits paying bribes. If you don’t pay him, people will almost certainly die. If you do pay him, you’re supporting the very people who are attacking the town.
What would you do?
Full of interactive stories that draw readers into the pressures of decision making, Decision Making in Disaster Response is a practical handbook that helps relief workers make effective choices under pressure. It develops their skills in making decisions when it really counts, and helps them make decisions that will save lives. The book’s strategies are applicable both to local emergency responders and international aid workers.
Whether you’re a student of disaster response preparing to work abroad, a veteran local Civil Defence volunteer, or simply want a highly-readable glimpse into the world of international relief work, you’ll be engrossed by the challenges in Decision Making in Disaster Response.

About the Author
John Tipper is the Director of Disaster Preparedness and Response for the Swedish NGO Operation Mercy. His involvement in disaster response has seen him spend extended periods of time in some of the world’s more troubled spots. He lived in South Sudan throughout its six year period of semi-autonomy, and has been based in the Middle East for the past four years. Along the way he has developed a deep appreciation for the role of local groups as they respond to the disasters that befall their communities. He counts himself privileged to have worked alongside and learned from such local responders in Southeast Asia and the Balkans, as well as in East Africa and the Middle East. He is married with three children.
