A must for those who want to avoid tragic bumbles

As evidenced from the recent FEMA disaster, a poorly managed humanitarian effort can make problems worse. "Managing Humanitarian Relief: An Operational Guide for NGOs" serves as a reference for humanitarian organizations on how to properly manage their company so that they serve as more of a boon for crisis than a bane. Intended for leaders and managers of these organizations, "Managing Humanitarian Relief" brings much wisdom that should be heavily be considered for any respectable company dedicated to their principles. "Managing Humanitarian Relief" serves as a warning as well as a manual; it is a must for those who want to avoid tragic bumbles.
