I haven’t added an entry for a while because I have been busy writing the paper for the children youth and environment journal. I have made quite a bit of headway, I have examined:
• Some hazard and hazard vulnerability theories and practices
• A literature review
• Two projects - one in the Phillipines and the other in El Salvador which used CBDM as a way of engaging people. Project in Phillipines was about increasing populations capacity to cope with geo-hazard events.
• I am now examining the Plan International evaluation with a view to analysing its effectiveness in community hazard mapping and how this has contributed to better awareness and capacity for hazard events.
In terms of planning, etc I have found Sente very useful, have used the British Library a couple of times too examine documents and publications, including Andrew Maskrey etc.
I have downloaded a useful piece of software called ‘Curio’ which is incredibly useful for project management etc. I have used it to help me plan the paper I was talking about earlier as well as drawing up a model for hazards increasing vulnerability beacause the hazard forces or encourages people to engage in practices that worsen the impacts of hazards. I have created a pdf of file here is a link to it first

As an update I have found two incredibly useful programs for the mac. DevonAgent, an excellent academic research tool and DevonThink Pro which has helped me organise all the articles and research papers that I have downloaded into the appropriate sub heading and it allows me to see either a preview of the document, or if I click on the preview it opens it for me - an extremely useful piece of software! I have left a link to their website here: Devon Technologies
