Once again nature's fury has taken a toll in pain, suffering, and
lives lost. In recognition of the need for a rapid and appropriate
response, CRC Press will donate $5 to the American Red Cross for
every copy of Community Disaster Recovery and Resiliency: Exploring
Global Opportunities and Challenges sold. In the past, societies
would learn from disasters and move the location of their urban
development to safer areas, allowing naturally occurring ecosystems
to maintain themselves and for societies to exist symbiotically
with the environment. These days, however, it seems that society no
longer takes cues from the environment but rather relies on
technical advancement to attempt to control and overcome the
environment, sometimes with wholly unsuccessful and even
catastrophic results. Emphasizing non-traditional approaches to
disaster recovery and rebuilding communities, Community Disaster
Recovery and Resiliency: Exploring Global Opportunities and
Challenges brings together leading research from top academics and
scholars on the different ways various societies have experienced
disasters, learned from them, and revised their thinking about
building community preparedness and resiliency pre- and
post-disaster. Provides a clear, concise, and up-to-date
understanding of best practices for rebuilding community
institutions and community development after a disaster Focuses on
integrated solutions for ecological restoration and community
development in disaster recovery planning and implementation
Compares and contrasts community rebuilding between different
nations at different stages of development, economic power, and
stability Includes case studies that illustrate best practices,
integrating the concept of community and community rebuilding for
local, national, and international stakeholders All chapters offer
diverse community examples that form a framework for comparing best
practices. They focus on integrated solutions for ecological
restoration and community development and explain how communities
can reduce their vulnerability to disasters and reduce recovery
time following a disaster. The book indentifies the opportunities
and challenges communities are most likely to face on the road to
recovery and supplies the interdisciplinary, social scientific
understanding required to effectively address those challenges.
