Bringing together the voices of local scholars in the Philippines,
this book offers critical insights into one of the world's most
disaster-prone regions. The Asia-Pacific region is one of the most
vulnerable regions in the world, with the effects of climate change
contributing to rising sea levels and increasingly frequent
typhoons and floods. Case studies in this book examine such
disasters, including the aftermath of 2013 super typhoon Haiyan.
Discussions are centred around four themes: women and empowerment,
economics and recovery, community and resilience, and religion and
spirituality. Through its analysis, the book demonstrates the
scopes, inequities and inefficiencies of policies and responses, as
well as forms of empowerment and resilience, in meeting challenges
in disaster-afflicted communities in the Philippines. Its
conclusions provide a more nuanced and grounded perspective of
policies, practices and approaches in the sociology of disasters
today.
