The book provides an understanding about the disaster impacts,
vulnerability assessment, adaptation pathways and mitigation for
strengthening the resilience of the society to various hazards.
Multi- dimensionality of disasters is depicted by various
approaches and effective modelling. The book is a synthesis of
research papers presented at online International Conference on the
theme organized by the Centre for Disaster management, Department
of Geography, Jamia Millia Islamia in collaboration with National
Institute of Disaster Management and Regional Remote Sensing Centre
(North), Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), New Delhi,
India during 02-03 March, 2021. The book has been organized into
four parts spreading over 28 chapters. Part I deals with the impact
assessment of various disasters. Part II examined ecological and
socio-economic vulnerability arising out of the disasters. Part III
identifies possible solutions for lessening vulnerability to
disasters and effective adaptation strategies. Finally, part IV
provides an insight for making the societies resilient to the
disasters. The main focus of each chapter was laid implicitly on
policy concerns focusing on disaster reduction at spatial scales.
The book will immensely be helpful for the researchers,
academicians and scientific communities for discussing set of
questions necessary for future research. It will attract the
attention of functionaries, practitioners, policy makers, training
institutes and stakeholders for making appropriate methods of
communicating risks and adaptation strategies for disaster
management.
