Reducing Disaster Risks - Progress and Challenges in the Caribbean Region (Hardcover)

Are we winning or losing the battle for safe environments? In 1984, leading disaster risk management professionals and researchers met in Jamaica for the Ocho Rios conference on Disaster Mitigation.

Areas of focus include:

• trends in disaster risk management
• the links between disaster risk management and development
