WFOT Disaster Preparedness and Risk Reduction Manual

The World Federation of Occupational Therapists Disaster Preparedness and Risk Reduction Manual provides principles and examples of initiatives that can be implemented across all levels of society and occupational therapy practice, education, research and policy.

Principles for occupational therapy disaster preparedness and risk reduction roles and actions are explained and illustrated across different levels of social involvement. These principles guide the reader to invite individuals, families, groups, and communities to voice their needs and collectively engage in the process of healing; to think of alternative paths; to prepare for future events; to build resilience, and to create sustainability.
