Minorities in situations of humanitarian crises 2016, para. 88
Párrafo
Paragraph text
Moreover, a critical component of all emergency planning and assistance is communication. In order to reach vulnerable individuals, emergency plans and information must be disseminated before, during and after emergencies and disasters. Particularly for minority groups whose members have limited proficiency in the majority language, receiving adequate information during times of disaster may be a significant challenge. Even multilingual efforts - because of difficulties in developing culturally tailored materials - may fall short of providing equal and effective information.
