Work is needed to articulate how to operationalise cultural rights in the events surrounding disasters

There seems to be lacking a comprehensive articulation of how to operationalize cultural rights in the events surrounding disasters.

Cultural Factors: Norms/values, Customs/traditions/rituals

Hazards: Natural hazards, Man-made non-intentional hazards or emergency situations

Disaster Phases: Response

Types of Actors Concerned: National civil protection body

Recommendations:

• Employ an overarching rights-based approach in disaster policies and operations
