From June 29 to July 1st, the Andean Committee for Disaster Prevention and Relief (CAPRADE) held its 14th meeting in Cusco, Peru. In addition to CAPRADE member states, participants included representatives of the IFRC and other international and regional organizations.
Among the topics discussed at the meeting was the need to improve understanding of IDRL in the region and to strengthen national and regional laws on disaster response with reference to the IDRL Guidelines. One step in this direction might be the inclusion of additional reference to the Guidelines in a future revision of the CAPRADE manual on disaster cooperation.
