Risk and vulnerability measurement is the first necessary step for
any serious contemplation of disaster reduction strategies as well
as climate change policies. Measuring vulnerability risk is an
emerging technique which can systematically assess and analyse
vulnerability and risk due to future possible climatic hazards. It
can reveal many adverse effects which are led by climate induced
disasters on society. Therefore, it helps state as well as society
for preparing and adopting adequate and successful measures for
reducing the risk factors. In other words, measuring vulnerability
and risk can show direction for preventing losses. It leads towards
preparedness to reduce recovery time rather than dependence on
relief and reconstruction and can help decision-makers in
prioritising their intervention for proactive disaster mitigation
strategies and climate change policies. This book has assessed the
pattern of climate induced disaster in Gujarat. It argues that
disasters and development are mutually related. Disasters can
create a setback in a process of development. At the same time, the
type of development can increase or reduce the risk due to
disaster. Therefore, the risk due to climate induced disasters also
depends on vulnerability pattern on the state. This book has
explored a regional model for assessing the pattern of
vulnerability within the state by identifying the determinants of
vulnerability existing in the state. It has finally provided the
ways and means of integrating risk reduction strategies into
development planning and climate change policies.
