Disaster risk management is of increasing significance in today's
world. Every year, natural disasters cause tens of thousands of
deaths and tens of billions of dollars' worth of losses. Northeast
Asia holds a high propensity for natural disasters, including
earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, floods and landslides. Countries
in the region have a long history of natural disasters that have
devastated populations, cities and their heritage. Restoring
livelihoods and rebuilding social and economic infrastructures
requires adequate political actions and financial resources,
necessitating the implementation of a comprehensive strategy for
the management of catastrophe risks. Coping with Disaster: Risk
Management in Northeast Asia provides an examination of the
disaster risk management approaches and financing practices adopted
in China, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. The objective of this book
is to provide the necessary information on hazards, exposures and
vulnerabilities to assist policy development design to increase
governmental preparedness for catastrophe risks. It addresses the
traditional aspects of disaster risk management, but goes further
to focus on the measures of financial protection required to secure
post-disaster resources and strengthen budgetary discipline.
Written in an accessible and comprehensible manner, the book will
appeal to a wide audience, but is of special interest to
policy-makers, public officials, insurance managers and students
eager to learn more about disaster risk management in one of the
most exposed regions in the world.
