The Asia-Pacific region is one of the most vulnerable to a variety
of natural and manmade hazards. This edited book productively
brings together scholars and senior public officials having direct
experience in dealing with or researching on recent major natural
disasters in the Asia-Pacific. The chapters focus on disaster
preparedness and management, including pre-event planning and
mitigation, crisis leadership and emergency response, and disaster
recovery. Specific events discussed in this book include a broad
spectrum of disasters such as tropical storms and typhoons in the
Philippines; earthquakes in China; tsunamis in Indonesia, Japan,
and Maldives; and bushfires in Australia. The book aims to generate
discussions about improved risk reduction strategies throughout the
region. It seeks to provide a comparative perspective across
countries to draw lessons from three perspectives: public policy,
humanitarian systems, and community engagement.
