Since the 1960s there has been a constant evolution in the common
understanding of international disaster management. Despite
international efforts aimed at reducing the impact of hazards on
humankind, very little progress was made. Disaster losses are on
the increase. Unsustainable developmental activities could in most
instances be blamed for the high level of disaster risk present in
communities. This monograph aims to develop a comprehensive
multi-sphere disaster reduction framework that is tailor-made for
the strategic management arena in South Africa. The research
provides the reader with a background study on the international
development of the concept of disaster risk reduction and its
components. It focuses on disaster risk management and disaster
management within the South African context. International disaster
risk reduction frameworks are analytically compared and aligned
with international best practices. Subsequently the South African
National Disaster Management Policy Framework is analysed and
compared to the findings of the international comparison. In
conclusion this monograph provides a new disaster risk reduction
framework for South Africa.
