Description

Disaster Risk Reduction for the Built Environment provides a comprehensive introduction to mainstreaming risk reduction options into construction decision-making processes. This book highlights the positive roles that professionals in various fields can play in addressing disaster risk, and encourages a broad range of people to consider Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in their work or everyday practices. The text features a wide range of examples, case studies, and thinking points to help readers adapt DRR approaches for different contexts. By raising awareness and inspiring consideration of DRR, this highly-illustrated textbook aims to make disaster risk reduction an integral part of the built environment development process. By taking a non-prescriptive approach, the book empowers practitioners to develop their own solutions, rather than imposing rigid frameworks that may generate new problems.
