UNHCR Emergency Handbook [info]
- "Available online as an app, UNHCR’s Emergency Handbook gives hands-on guidance to humanitarians in all areas of life-saving assistance from registering refugees, to providing shelter, food, sanitation and more. The Handbook, which draws on the UN Refugee Agency’s over 60 years of operational experience, works on all electronic platforms. Once downloaded to a mobile, it even works offline for use in remote areas. It is now also available in Arabic, French and Spanish."

ReliefWeb Mobile, version 2 [info]

Our Labs research ultimately proved to us that an enhanced mobile version would be more sustainable and stable."
