Providing a detailed and comparative assessment of the humanitarian
responses to a series of major disasters in Asia over the past two
decades, including massive earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and
tsunamis, this book explores complex and changing understandings
and practices of relief, recovery, and reconstruction. These
critical investigations raise questions about the position and
responsibilities of a growing range of stakeholders, and provide
in-depth explorations of the ways in which local communities are
transformed on multiple levels - not only by the impact of disaster
events, but also by the experiences of rebuilding. This timely
volume highlights how the experiences of Asia can contribute
towards post-disaster responses globally, to safeguard future
communities and reduce vulnerabilities. This is a valuable resource
for academic researchers interested in post-disaster
transformations and development studies, practitioners in NGOs, and
government officials dealing with disaster response and disaster
risk reduction.
