The number, intensity, and impact of diverse forms of 'natural' and
'human-made' disasters are increasing. In response, the
international community has shifted its primary focus away from
disaster response to prevention and improved preparedness. The
current globally agreed upon roadmap is the ambitious Sendai
Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, central to which
is the better understanding of disaster risk management and
mitigation. Sendai also urges innovative implementation, especially
multi-sectoral and multi-hazard coherence. Yet the law sector
itself remains relatively under-developed, including a paucity of
supporting 'DRR law' scholarship and minimal cross-sectoral
engagement. Commonly, this is attributable to limited understanding
by other sectors about law's dynamic potential as a tool of
disaster risk mitigation, despite the availability of many
risk-related norms across a broad spectrum of legal regimes. This
unique, timely Handbook brings together global and multi-sector
perspectives on one of the most pressing policy issues of our time.
