This manual presents the participatory approach to safe shelter awareness (PASSA), which aims to raise the awareness of the ‘everyday vulnerable’ of the ‘everyday risks’ related to their built environment and foster locally appropriate safe shelter and settlement practices.

The manual is part of a tool kit, which also comprises a shelter safety handbook, a video and a training package. It was developed by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) together with British Red Cross.
