Disaster Risk: A Comprehensive Approach to Understanding and Managing Disaster Risks
Disaster Risk provides a comprehensive and balanced coverage of both the physical and human dimensions of disaster risk, distinguishing itself from many competing titles that prioritize hazards over anthropogenic aspects such as vulnerability, resilience, and disaster risk reduction.
The book offers a flexible teaching resource through its innovative structure. It consists of two main reading pathways: the first focuses on the interactions between the human and natural dimensions of disasters, forming the linear structure of the book. The second cuts across the previous sections and addresses issues such as natural hazards, vulnerability, capacities, and cross-cutting issues such as gender, age, and health.
The four authors, each with extensive experience in disaster studies, bring a wide range of expertise covering both the social and physical dimensions of disasters. Additionally, they have extensive practical experience in disaster risk reduction and management, having worked closely with policy makers over the past two decades.
The book includes case studies of salient points and specialized readings, making it an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and practitioners in the field of disaster risk management. By providing a holistic understanding of disaster risk, Disaster Risk contributes to the development of effective strategies and policies for reducing the impact of disasters and building resilience in communities.
