Abstract
This note discusses natural disaster
preparation and how microfinance institutions (MFIs) and
their staffs can respond. It is part of a series that
summarizes a distance learning series with South American
microfinance networks and government officials. Preparation
for disaster includes understanding the risks and costs of
disasters, establishing proactive approaches and concrete
responses, and knowing the resources and partnerships that
may prove helpful in an emergency.
