Natural disasters make dramatic reading. Every year, some area of
the world is devastated by a disaster, with enormous consequent
loss of life and disruption to livelihoods. What can be done to
alleviate this? Why are such disasters so lethal? Why do people
expose themselves to such hazards? Do mitigation programmes help?
What effect does aid really have on the areas that receive it? By
examining one particular cyclone-prone area of Southern India in
great detail over a 10-year period Peter Winchester has come up
with some perceptive answers to the questions. In particular, he
formulates a set of five 'golden rules' for disaster management.
The book will provide valuable and thought-provoking reading for
anyone involved with disaster management, and will be essential for
all those whose work involves aid or development in disaster-prone
areas.
