This book presents the health emergency and disaster risk
management (H-EDRM) research landscape, with examples from Asia. In
recent years, the intersection of health and disaster risk
reduction (DRR) has emerged as an important interdisciplinary
field. In several landmark UN agreements adopted in 2015-2016,
including the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction
2015-2030, the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Paris
climate agreement, and the New Urban Agenda (Habitat III), health
is acknowledged as an inevitable outcome and a natural goal of
disaster risk reduction, and the cross-over of the two fields is
essential for the successful implementation of the Sendai
Framework. H-EDRM has emerged as an umbrella field that encompasses
emergency and disaster medicine, DRR, humanitarian response,
community health resilience, and health system resilience. However,
this fragmented, nascent field has yet to be developed into a
coherent discipline. Key challenges include redundant research,
lack of a strategic research agenda, limited development of
multisectoral and interdisciplinary approaches, deficiencies in the
science-policy-practice nexus, absence of standardized terminology,
and insufficient coordination among stakeholders. This book
provides a timely and invaluable resource for undergraduate and
postgraduate students, researchers, scholars, and frontline
practitioners as well as policymakers from across the component
domains of H-EDRM.
