In the 1990s events in Bosnia, the former Soviet Union countries, Afghanistan and Northern Iraq showed that humanitarian disasters are not limited to the South, Africa, or the tropics, but may strike anywhere in the world. Relief workers have had to be ever more adaptable in order to provide life-saving water supplies and sanitation facilities in areas where freezing conditions occur. This second edition of Out in the Cold includes new materials gathered from humanitarian workers returning from the Kosovo crisis and has been revised on the basis of comments made about the first edition. This book is aimed at all humanitarian workers, especially managers, engineers and logisticians working in ex-Soviet states, China, Eastern Europe or any other country in cool temperate or cold regions will find sections of this book relevant to them. Techniques are described fairly simply, although engineering design recommendations are also included.
