The Search for Principles of Disaster Management
BySonsoles Rodríguez GonzálezAna Belén Fernández-Sevilla Leyva
The Oxford dictionary defines a principle as a “fundamental truth as (a) basis of reasoning”. Principles guide people’s decisions and actions, policies and procedures developed by organizations, and laws and doctrines of political entities”. The Collins English Language Dictionary further defines a principle as ‘A general rule that you try to obey in the way that you try to achieve something. Principled actions or behaviour, based on clear guidance concerning the way to act.” These definitions place emphasis on the implicit authority contained in a principle as a ’fundamental truth’ or ‘general rule’. Their purpose concerns practical action, thus principles exist to ‘guide actions’, ‘achieve something’, or define the ‘way to act’.
