Disasters raise serious challenges for contemporary legal orders:
they demand significant management, but usually amidst massive
disruption to the normal functioning of state authority and
society. When dealing with disasters, law has traditionally focused
on contingency planning and recovery. More recently, however,
'resilience' has emerged as a key concept in effective disaster
management policies and strategies, aiming at minimising the impact
of events, so that the normal functioning of society and the state
can be preserved. This book analyses the contribution of law to
resilience building by looking at law's role in the different
phases of the disaster regulatory process: risk assessment, risk
management, emergency intervention, and recovery. More
specifically, it addresses how law can effectively contribute to
resilience-oriented distaster management policies, and what legal
instruments can support effective resilience-building.
