This book is part of a six-volume series on Disaster Risk Reduction
and Resilience. The series aims to fill in gaps in theory and
practice in the Sendai Framework, and provides additional
resources, methodologies and communication strategies to enhance
the plan for action and targets proposed by the Sendai Framework.
The series will appeal to a broad range of researchers, academics,
students, policy makers and practitioners in engineering,
environmental science and geography, geoscience, emergency
management, finance, community adaptation, atmospheric science and
information technology. This volume offers the international
guidelines and global standards for resilient disaster risk
reduction and lessons learned from disasters, particularly the
COVID-19 and Cholera pandemics. A resilient health system and an
effective disaster risk management Index are then suggested. The
book further emphasizes urban resilience strategies with local
authorities, adaptation strategies for urban heat at regional, city
and local scales, and lessons from community-level interventions.
Also addressed are coastal erosion, displacement and resettlement
strategies. Land use planning and green infrastructure are
suggested as tools for natural hazards reduction. Human security in
times of climate change and urban heat at regional, city and local
scales is discussed for an integrated action, with case studies
based in Manila, Burkina Faso, Chad, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal,
Nigeria, India, Spain, and Ghana. Structure design for cascading
disasters resulting from mining and flooding is presented and
sustainable smart city planning using spatial data is recommended.
