This book discusses the interconnected, complex and emerging risks
in today's societies and deliberates on the various aspects of
disaster risk reduction strategies especially through community
resilience and responses. It consists of selected papers presented
at the World Congress on Disaster Management, which focused on
community resilience and responses towards disaster risk reduction
based on South Asian experiences, and closely examines the
coordinated research activities involving all stakeholders,
especially the communities at risk. Further, it narrates the
experiences of disaster risk-reduction in different communities
that have policy implications for mitigation of future disaster
risks in the societies affected by these types of disasters.
Written from the social science perspective to disasters rather
than an engineering approach, the book helps development and
governance institutions to prioritize disasters as a problem of
development rather than being parallel to it.
