RESUMO
In today's mass society, mass-mediated emergency response must be an integral part of an effective disaster managenment-especially in the face of bioterrorism or other public health crises. While each emergency situation has its own has its own unique features and requires different approaches for dealing with public information and media relations, this chapter provides a list of general media guidelines for nurses as crisis managers or emergency responders in the public and private sector. Instead of concentrating solely on utilizing the traditional and new media during emergencies, prudent preparedness measures include public education and information before disaster strikes (AU)

Este documento se propone destacar algunas de las cosas que las instituciones financieras internacionales (IFI) hacen y pueden hacer para promover la gestión del riesgo de desastres en áreas urbanas de Latinoamérica y el Caribe, y lo hace dando un vistazo hacia dentro de la mayor IFI para la región, el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo. La ponencia explica resumidamente el trabajo tradicional del Banco en lo que respecta a desarrollo y desastres, luego revisa algo del cambiante contexto de la vulnerabilidad en la región, y sugiere algunas formas potencialmente fructíferas que las instituciones financieras internacionales podrían considerar para enfrentar los retos de desarrollo en una región propensa a los desastres. Más que pretender ser exhaustiva o particularmente rigurosa, esta ponencia busca abrir algunos de los asuntos que el Banco afronta, para su discusión entre los expertos y los tomadores de decisiones
