8 Foreword If the Tower of Babel was a language disaster, disasters and humanitarian relief have their own language. Whether act of nature, act of man or folly of mankind, disasters are increasing alarmingly in frequency and magnitude, requiring an ever-growing complicated response from governments, organizations, specialists and humanitarian workers worldwide. Such major interventions are most often multidisciplinary, multilingual and of varied degrees of expertise, resulting in complications and unequal ef fi ciency, with errors of communication, cooperation and action. In what is usually a dif fi cult multisectoral fi eld operation, the doctor must understand the engineer, the meteorologist must converse with the journalist, the nurse with the administrator, the ambulance man with the anaesthetist, the priest with the family, the WHO representative with the government and the coordinator with many NGOs from different cultures and countries. If such understanding is essential on the terrain, it is equally necessary away from the heat of action, at administrative tables, UN boardrooms, ministries, planning sessions, training courses, medical schools and philanthropic organizations, whence the need for a tool of common understanding, an essential standardized terminology as here presented. I have known William Gunn over several decades and have particularly appreciated his productive work at the World Health Organization, where he was for many years head of Emergency Humanitarian Operations. Internationally acknowledged as a pioneer and innovator in disaster management, it may come as a surprise to many that he was also the Organization s chief of scienti fi c terminology surely an exceptional combination that has assured this remarkable book of special terminology, its authority and indispensable position. Indeed, its worth has been tested in numerous emergency interventions, operational tasks, organizational missions and editorial brie fi ngs within WHO, the UN, the Red Cross and many other national and international organizations since 1990, and this new expanded edition comes as a timely essential aid against the growing threats of inhuman violence and destructive disasters.
