Content:
"Natural hazards, such as floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, typhoons, and wildfires, present significant challenges for managing risk and vulnerability at a community or national scale. As the 21st century witnesses pronounced trends of greater urbanization and a warming global climate, risk and vulnerability are continually increasing. In that context, understanding how communities, nations, and international regimes and organizations attempt to manage risk and promote resilience in the face of major disruption to the built and natural environment and social systems is essential. Defining, assessing, and understanding governance practices in the area of natural hazards is essential to address these types of challenges. This volume provides a uniquely comprehensive treatment of the range of key governance issues and how they are addressed across global regions, individual countries, and local communities"--
