This collection of articles provides a unique overview of the state
of the science in the prediction of and response to natural
disaster events. The uniqueness of this volume is that it comprises
more than just the physical science perspective. For each natural
hazard included in this text, social scientists have provided
research summaries of how public perceptions are related to the
actions that are likely to be undertaken when people are confronted
with information about the existence of a natural hazard threat. In
this book the reader can find a truly international
characterization of both hazard perception and prediction. The
American and European contributors provide state-of-the-science
overviews of empirically-based research knowledge that expands
beyond any national boundaries. This approach has resulted in
broader understanding of what is currently known about predicting
natural hazard events and predicting how those events, or warnings
of them, will be responded to by different types of societies.
