Abstract
The paper examines the role of civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) systems during crises associated with conflict, migration, disasters, and health emergencies, and in particular on counting and registering deaths and determining causes of death. It identifies gaps in the international response to registration of deaths and discusses how capturing this information and providing surviving family members with information and certificates helps to support institutional and societal resilience. These capacities pave the way for stability in the post-disaster and post-conflict future.
