This century's major disasters from Hurricane Katrina and the
Fukushima nuclear meltdown to devastating Nepalese earthquakes and
the recent crippling volcanic eruptions and tsunamis in Tonga have
repeatedly taught that government institutions are ill-prepared for
major disaster events, leaving the most vulnerable among us
unprotected. These tragedies represent just the beginning of a new
era of disaster - an era of floods, heatwaves, droughts, and
pandemics fueled by climate change. Laws and government
institutions have struggled to adapt to the scope of the challenge;
old models of risk no longer apply. This Handbook provides timely
guidance, taking stock of the field of disaster law and policy as
it has developed since Hurricane Katrina. Experts from a wide range
of academic and practical backgrounds address the root causes of
disaster vulnerability and offer solutions to build more resilient
communities to ensure that no one is left behind.
