Catastrophes are on the rise due to climate change, as is their
toll in terms of lives and livelihoods as world populations rise
and people settle into hazardous places. While disaster response
and management are traditionally seen as the domain of the natural
and technical sciences, awareness of the importance and role of
cultural adaptation is essential. This book catalogues a wide and
diverse range of case studies of such disasters and human
responses. This serves as inspiration for building culturally
sensitive adaptations to present and future calamities, to mitigate
their impact, and facilitate recoveries.
