4th edition of UNHCR’s Handbook for Emergencies, first published in 1982. This digital edition replaces all previous print editions of the Emergency Handbook. It is primarily a tool for UNHCR emergency operations and its workforce. Most of the Emergency Handbook content is publicly available. As such, the Handbook is also accessible as a tool for partners in emergency operations and other interested parties. The digital publication channel - in the form of a website, offline USB stick version and mobile applications - allows UNHCR to keep the content updated all the time, and to distribute updates to users in real time.
