Hazard Mitigation in Emergency Management introduces readers to
mitigation, one of the four foundational phases of emergency
management, and to the hazard mitigation planning process. Authors
Islam and Ryan review the hazard mitigation framework in both
private sector and governmental agencies, covering the regulatory
and legal frameworks for mitigation, as well as risk assessment
processes and strategies, and tools and techniques that can
prevent, or lessen, the impact of disasters. The book specifically
addresses hazards posed by human activity, including cyber threats
and nuclear accidents, as well as hurricanes, floods, and
earthquakes. Readers will learn about the framework for the
mitigation process, hazard identification, risk assessment, and the
tools and techniques available for mitigation. Coverage includes
both GIS and HAZUS, with tutorials on these technologies, as well
as case studies of best practices in the United States and around
the world. The text is ideal for students, instructors, and
practitioners interested in reducing, or eliminating, the effects
of disasters.
