The subject of tropical cyclones in Southern Africa, also known as
hurricanes or typhoons in other regions of the world, has been
growing over the past few decades. However, there is still limited
literature on foundational and fundamental topics on the matter. To
this end, this book addresses this gap, citing some examples from
both historic and recent tropical cyclones. The book presents
meteorological and climatic aspects of tropical cyclones, including
reviews on forecasting, warning message dissemination and public
response aspects of early warning systems with a focus on the
Tropical Cyclones Idai and Kenneth. Fundamentals in disaster risk
reduction (DRR) are also discussed moving from the provisions of
the Hyogo Framework for Action (2005-2015), to the Sendai Framework
for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015-2030). Climate change issues are
central to the publication, as well as the role of information and
communication technologies in DRR and management. The book also
tackles some challenges and opportunities associated with the
implementation of regional legal and institutional frameworks on
DRR. The book comes as part of a series with three volumes. The
other volumes include "Cyclones in Southern Africa Vol. 1:
Interfacing the Catastrophic Impact of Cyclone Idai with SDGs in
Zimbabwe" and "Cyclones in Southern Africa Vol 3: Implications for
the Sustainable Development Goals". To this end, this book is
suitable as a read for several professionals and disciplines such
as tourism and hospitality studies, economics, sustainable
development, development studies, environmental sciences, arts,
geography, life sciences, politics, planning and public health.
