How can a place be built and managed so that it is safe for people
to live? Ironically, many governments and citizens keep on asking
the same question after every new disaster. Why, even with high
levels of investment in increasing government's capacity to manage
disasters, do the impacts of disasters continue to increase? What
can the governments do differently? What is the role of local
communities? Where should aid agencies invest? This book looks into
these critical questions and highlights how current capacity
development efforts might be resulting in the opposite-capacity
crisis or capability trap. The book provides a new approach for the
understanding and the developing of effective local capacity to
reduce and manage future disaster impacts.
