This textbook provides a thorough introduction to natural disaster
risk management. Many aspects of disaster risk management, such as
those involved in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods,
avalanches and mudslides call for similar prevention and
preparedness instruments, management concepts, and countermeasures.
This textbook assumes the viewpoint of a regional disaster risk
manager who is responsible for a certain area, and for making the
lives of the people who live there safer, regardless of the type of
natural disaster that may occur. The same holds true for boosting
preparedness and awareness in the population at risk. The book
includes numerous examples of hazard mitigation concepts and
techniques, as well as ways of intensively involving the local
population in prevention schemes at an early stage. Furthermore, it
provides an in-depth examination of the function of risk
communication, both as an instrument for disseminating official
information and as a function of public media. In closing, a
chapter on risk splitting offers insights into insurance-based
models for risk financing. This comprehensive book is a must-read
for all students, researchers and practitioners dealing with
natural disaster risk management.
