This volume presents an overview of climatic hazards and climate change, focusing on societal responses, insurance and methodologies for analysis. Drawing on primary research from researchers worldwide, it explores the potential sensitivity to changes in weather hazards that might be expected with climate change. Present hazard vulnerability and risk are often poorly understood and changes in disaster management are crucial. The book argues that disaster managers must adapt their policies to new climatic conditions and continue monitoring trends to detect significant shifts in risk and respond appropriately.
