This section presents a number of examples of handbooks, training materials and manuals based on a literature review of similar guidelines and lessons learnt that are relevant for the development of the handbook. We have made an extensive literature review and have limited this review to the most representative examples that we could find on the internet. The literature review was carried out using Google search terms, using only English search terms, therefore manuals in other languages are not included. We have also specifically searched for handbooks and manuals that refer to the Caribbean region. The review might not be exhaustive, but gives a reasonable overview of materials that are freely available. We have divided the materials in a number of categories:

• Landslide hazard and risk assessment
• Flood hazard and risk assessment
• Use of risk information in planning
• Use of spatial information for risk management
