Risk and Development Annual Review (RADAR) 2010
RADAR was developed between 2009 and 2010 by UCT/DiMP, following the completion of extensive research on six years of severe weather events and social violence in the Western Cape. The maps, tables and other information presented here represent almost ten years of focused ‘ex-post’ or postdisaster research in the Western Cape, and have been derived from post-disaster studies commissioned by provincial and national government, as well as by the City of Cape Town (CoCT).

Weathering the Storm
Weathering the Storm reflects current international practice in participatory risk assessment.

Urban Vulnerability: Perspectives from Southern Africa
This publication is divided into three parts. In Part 1, Erika Coetzee's chapter proposes a conceptual framework for understanding urban vulnerability. The subsequent chapter by Catherine Oelofse links concepts of urban vulnerability with disaster risk. Part 2 introduces the Southern African context in relation to issues of urbanisation and urban vulnerability. Part 3 illustrates strategies for addressing issues of urban vulnerability through series of case studies.

Southern Perspectives
This issue coincides with the closing event for the International Decades for Natural Disaster Reduction - the IDNDR Programme Forum, convened in Geneva, Switzerland. During the past ten years, the IDNDR has advocated for greater attention to the reduction of natural disasters - to avert human, property and other losses. While Southern Africa is seldom viewed as vulnerable to natural threats, that is compared to Asia and Latin America, the subcontinent lives with rising patterns of social, economic and environmental vulnerability.

Living with Drought
This pack aims at complementing other 'disaster management training' materials. These activities specifically emphasise the important role that development and aid workers paly in long-term planning and action in drought prone communities. They do this by strengtening and understanding, skills and knowledge necessary for including risk reduction into development practices.
