A global perspective: Can humans mitigate risks associated with natural disasters?

(World Scientific) 'The Handbook of Disaster Risk Reduction& Management' explores climate change and its association with socio-economic development and cultures, particularly in vulnerable communities, and investigates how resilience to disasters can be built. As its title suggests, the focus is on mitigation strategies and policies to reduce and manage the consequences of natural disasters. The handbook covers pre- to post-disaster occurrences from a wide range of perspectives, such as gender and country.
