Disaster Management Ethics
- Share to:
Ethics is the study of standards of conduct and moral judgement, or a system
or code of morals (concepts of right and wrong). Professional ethics involves
the application of accepted principles or a moral code to the practice of a
particular profession. Ethical behaviour and action of individuals, groups or
professions is that which conforms to values, morals and standards of
conduct. One example is the “Code of Conduct for the International Red
Cross and Red Crescent Movement and Non-Governmental Organizations
(NGOs) in Disaster Relief”, an outline of which is attached at the end of this
module as Annex 1. Certain ethical dilemmas may involve choices between
equally undesirable alternatives or conflicting moral codes.
Rather than assert absolutes or provide definitive answers to the ethical
dilemmas that arise in the context of disasters, the Disaster Management Ethics
module focuses on five specific aspects of disaster management that involve
complex ethical issues
