This book focuses on such disasters and their impact on individuals and communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn India and South Asia, centrifugal disasters have increased significantly in recent decades, yet research on these incidents remains limited due to their classification as accidents. The book documents three major disaster events: the 26\/11 terror attacks, the 13\/7 blasts in Mumbai, and the hospital fire in Kolkata. Through the analysis of the lived and felt experiences of survivors and their families, the book seeks to understand the complexities of these disasters and the challenges faced by those affected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on the authors experience of working with survivors, first responders (police, health workers), and policymakers, the book proposes a model of disaster intervention that bridges academia and praxis expertise. It provides a rights framework for disaster interventions and explores the moral and ethical considerations surrounding such interventions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis important book will be of interest to students and practitioners of disaster management, including first responders, public management, risk management, hazards and disasters, emergency response, terrorism, and political violence. It will also be valuable to mental health professionals, social workers, psychologists, civil society organizations, and bureaucrats and policymakers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book offers a comprehensive understanding of centrifugal disasters and their impact on individuals and communities, providing valuable insights for disaster preparedness, response, and recovery efforts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 576g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032409894\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JacquleenJoseph,Surinder Jaswal","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44638685790458,"sku":"9781032409894","price":151.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1697215752403_book.jpg?v=1697392370","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/centrifugal-disasters-trajectories-of-vulnerability-recovery-and-resilience-9781032409894","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
