This book explains key lessons learned from diverse disaster
situations and analyzes them within the framework of governance,
education, and technology, providing a framework for disaster
recovery as a development opportunity. In post-disaster situations,
different types of resources are put into the affected region,
varying according to technical, financial, intellectual, and
community resources. If properly implemented, disaster recovery can
change the context of risk-reduction approaches; if not, it can
create additional hazards. In some countries, the post-disaster
recovery process has even changed the socio-economic and political
context of the affected region and country.
The book has 21 chapters and is divided into four parts:
governance and institutional issues (five chapters), education and
learning issues (four chapters), technology and innovation issues
(five chapters), and cross-cutting issues (five chapters). The
final chapter provides an analysis of the key topics.
The primary target groups for this book are students and
researchers in the fields of environment, disaster risk reduction,
and climate change studies. The book provides them with a good idea
of the current research trends in the field and furnishes basic
knowledge about these vital topics. Another target group comprises
practitioners and policy makers, who will be able to apply the
knowledge collected here to policy and decision making."
