This book presents strategies for managing disasters and reducing
risks in Asian countries. Given the dynamic changes in the natural
environment as well as the patterns of land use and management, the
growing populations of the developing nations in Asia, migration
patterns, and other social-cultural aspects, the impacts of
disasters have increased manifold in Asian countries. Against this
backdrop, the book examines disaster management issues such as
disaster preparedness, post-disaster reconstruction, peace,
development and corruption. The views of different groups of
stakeholders are incorporated in the discussion to ensure a
comprehensive analysis of and findings on the governance process,
as well as best practices in pre- and post-disaster management. The
book also includes chapters focusing on aspects often overlooked in
the context of disaster management, such as the need to invest in
public education to improve public awareness, and approaches to
supporting the disabled, the vulnerable and the elderly from
disaster risks. In closing, the book presents research on disaster
management methods employed by different countries in the Asian
region. Acknowledgement: The editors acknowledge the role of the
Network of Asia Pacific Schools and Institutes of Public
Administration and Governance (NAPSIPAG), which is the largest
governance research network in the Asia Pacific region,in bringing
out this book. NAPSIPAG has been regularly organizing international
meetings of administrators, academia and non-state bodies to
provide a forum to the regional scholars to deliberate with the
international governance experts. It has also helped the
international policy organizations to have a better understanding
about the region through a local lens of Asiatic anthropology,
ethnography and culture of administration.
