Research presented at the 7th International Conference on Disaster
Management and Human Health: Reducing Risk, Improving Outcomes is
contained in this volume. These contributions from academics and
experts focus on public health, security and disaster management
with the goal to assess the potential risk from various types of
disaster and highlight ways to prevent or alleviate any damage.
There is a need for academia and practitioners to exchange
knowledge and experience on the way to handle the increasing risk
of natural and human-made disasters. Recent major earthquakes,
tsunamis, hurricanes, floods and other natural phenomena have
resulted in huge losses in terms of human life and property
destruction. A new range of human-made disasters have afflicted
humanity in modern times; terrorist activities have been added to
more classical disasters such as those due to the failure of
industrial installations for instance. It is important to
understand the nature of these global risks to be able to develop
strategies to prepare for these events and plan effective responses
in terms of disaster management and the associated human health
impacts. The papers included in this volume cover such topics as
Public health risk; Socio-economic issues; Environmental issues;
Emergency preparedness and risk mitigation.
