WFOT Disaster Preparedness and Risk Reduction Manual

On the 15th July 2022, WFOT launched its new WFOT Publication, the Disaster Preparedness and Risk Reduction Manual. Authored by Dr. Tamara Barboza and Dr. Kit Sinclair, the new WFOT publication draws upon an analysis of data collected through qualitative interviews with occupational therapists from around the world. The manual provides principles and examples of disaster preparedness and risk reduction initiatives that can be implemented across all levels of society and occupational therapy practice, education, research and policy.
