Abstract
Data collection and management helps to plan, monitor, report, evaluate and assess the impact of disasters on the community. Sound data collection procedures help in proper disaster preparedness and mitigating the impact of disasters on community’s well-being. Interviews, focus group discussions, questionnaires, observations, case studies and participatory rural appraisal are some of the widely popular tools of data collection on disasters. The design of such tools in the context of livestock rearing communities has been minimally documented. The present chapter discusses data collection procedures and tools before, during and after disasters through suitable tabular information. It mentions a specific set of questions to be kept in mind while undertaking data collection exercises with livestock rearing communities. Finally, it elaborates on the participatory mode of data collection on livestock management.
