This book presents a collection of papers under the theme of
multi-hazard early warning and disaster risks. These were selected
from the presentations made at the International Symposium on
Tsunami and Multi-Hazard Risks, Early Warning and Community
Awareness in supporting implementation of the Sendai Framework for
Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030. This conference aimed to
recognize achievements and to highlight work that still needs to be
carried out. The conference promoted collaboration among academia,
research institutions and disaster management offices, and further
encouraged multidisciplinary and multi-sectoral interaction This
International Symposium on Multi-Hazard Early Warning and Disaster
Risk Reduction provided an important opportunity to reflect upon
our progress to date in tackling disaster risk, but also to
consider some of the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead of
us. A particular focus of this event wasMulti-Hazard Early Warning.
During the negotiations for the Sendai Framework, countries and
partners highlighted the need to: 1. Continue to invest in,
develop, maintain and strengthen people-centred, end-to-end early
warning systems; 2. Promote the application of simple and low cost
early warning equipment and facilities; 3. Broaden the
dissemination channels for early warning information to facilitate
early action. Countries also called for the further development of
and investment in effective, nationally compatible, regional
multi-hazard early warning mechanisms. To address these needs,
global Target (g) of the Sendai Framework was adopted, namely to
"substantially increase the availability of and access to
multi-hazard early warning systems and disaster risk information
and assessments to the people by 2030". As illustrated by recent
events in Indonesia, it is also vital to address the challenge of
cascading hazards that pose a tsunami risk, and the importance of
linking tsunami early warning to a multi-hazard environment.
However, moving towards a multi-hazard environment is complex and
poses many challenges but can bring significant benefits in terms
of efficiencies and also in recognising the links between hazards,
such as cascading threats. We very much hope that this book will
provide an important platform to address these and other challenges
in addressing disaster risk, as well as supporting implementation
of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction

This book presents a collection of double-blind peer reviewed
papers under the scope of sustainable and resilient approaches for
rebuilding displaced and host communities. Forced displacement is a
major development challenge, not only a humanitarian concern. A
surge in violent conflict, as well as increasing levels of disaster
risk and environmental degradation driven by climate change, has
forced people to leave or flee their homes - both internally
displaced as well as refugees. The rate of forced displacement
befalling in different countries all over the world today is
phenomenal, with an increasingly higher rate of the population
being affected on daily basis than ever. These displacement
situations are becoming increasingly protracted, many lasting over
5 years. Therefore, there is a need to develop more sustainable and
resilient approaches to rebuild these displaced communities
ensuring the long-term satisfaction of communities and enhancing
the social cohesion between the displaced and host communities.
Accordingly, chapters are arranged around five main themes of
rebuilding communities after displacement. Response management for
displaced communities The Built environment in resettlement
planning Governance of displacement Socio-Economic interventions
for sustainable resettlement
