Description
Disaster Risk and Vulnerability Mitigation Through Mobilizing Communities and Partnerships by David Etkin and Chowdhury Emdadul Haque is a comprehensive assessment of the human toll and economic losses caused by natural disasters. The authors examine how policy makers, planners, managers, and regulators can work more effectively with local communities to reduce disaster risk. The book presents case studies from Asia and North America, highlighting the importance of community mobilization and partnership development in disaster management. Despite advances in science and technology, socioeconomic losses due to environmental disasters continue to rise, making this knowledge essential for anyone working in these fields. By exploring a range of approaches to community mobilization and partnership development, Disaster Risk and Vulnerability provides valuable insights into how to reverse the trend of increasing socioeconomic losses due to environmental disasters.
