introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law,
expertly written by the world's leading scholars. Designed to be
accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the
substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.
With disasters increasing in both frequency and intensity, this timely
Advanced Introduction provides a fresh perspective on how the concepts
established in the Sendai Framework can be put into practice to reduce
disaster risk, improve preparedness in cost-effective ways, and develop
whole-of-society approaches to increasing resilience.
Key Features:
-
Provides evidence-informed coverage of the core areas of disaster risk
reduction
-
Identifies the implementation issues and challenges to anticipation,
preparedness, evaluation and governance and the strategies that can be
used to facilitate it
-
Discusses individual and collective ways to manage recovery and to
learn from disaster experiences and programmes such as Build Back
Better to prepare people to deal with disasters more effectively in
the future
Incorporating research on preparedness modelling, evaluation strategies,
adaptive governance, and transformative learning, this Advanced
Introduction will be invaluable to students and scholars of
environmental management, governance and regulation interested in
disaster risk reduction. It will also be a vital resource to
policymakers looking to strengthen their disaster preparedness and
