This book looks at how legal frameworks can and do reduce risks
arising out of disasters. The volume: analyses existing disaster
laws and the challenges on the ground; brings together case studies
from some of the most vulnerable regions; and proposes solutions to
avert existing and possible future crises. The book offers
appropriate legal frameworks for disaster management which could
not only offer sustainable institutional reforms towards community
resilience and preparedness but also reduce risk within the
frameworks of justice, equity and accountability. It examines the
intricacies of governance within which governments function and
discusses how recent trends in infrastructure development and
engineering technology could be balanced within the legal
principles of ethics, transparency and integrity. The chapters in
the volume suggest that legal frameworks ought to resonate with new
challenges of resource management and climate change. Further,
these frameworks could help secure citizens' trust, institutional
accountability and effective implementation through an unceasing
partnership which keeps the community better prepared and more
resilient. This volume will be indispensable to scholars and
researchers of disaster management, law, public policy, environment
and development studies as well as policymakers and those in
administrative, governmental, judicial and development sectors.
