Water and disasters: be informed and be prepared
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UN/ISDR) - WMO, 2004 (WMO-No. 971)To reduce the risk due to water-related disasters, the watchword is to “be informed and be prepared”.

L'eau et les catastrophes : être informé et préparé
Organisation météorologique mondiale (OMM); Stratégie Internationale pour la Prévention des Catastrophes (SIPC) - OMM, 2004 (OMM-No. 971)Pour réduire le risque de catastrophes liées à l’eau, il faut avant tout être informé et préparé.
