A Text Book on DISASTER MANAGEMENT AND RURAL TECHNOLOGY by R. K. Behera , B. P. Samal , U. K. Rout &D. K. Sahoo Pdf

Disasters take a toll on human lives and property resulting in losses in several ways to people and the country as a whole. The primary reason for the loss of lives is poor communication and delay in help arriving at the disaster scene. To save more lives, relief and salvage operations need to be activated in response to the disaster as soon as possible. The government, NGOs and several local agencies play critical roles in the effective management in terms of rehabilitation of the affected population. It is important to formulate risk reduction plans and implement them effectively. India has been traditionally vulnerable to natural disasters due to its unique geo-climatic conditions. Floods, droughts, cyclones, earthquakes and landslides are frequent phenomena. Disaster management occupies an important place in this country’s policy framework because, it is primarily the poor and the underprivileged who are the worst affected by these calamities/disasters.

Disaster Vulnerability, Hazards and Resilience by Fernando I. Rivera,Naim Kapucu Pdf

This monograph provides valuable lessons in building disaster resilience for rural communities and beyond. With a focus on Florida, the authors present a comprehensive review of the current debates surrounding the study of resilience, from federal frameworks, state plans and local initiatives. They also review evaluation tools and feature first-hand accounts of county emergency managers as well as non-profit and community groups on key issues, including perspectives on vulnerable groups such as the elderly, children and farm workers. Readers will find insightful answers to such questions as: How can the concept of resilience be used as a framework to investigate the conditions that lead to stronger, more sustainable communities? What factors account for the variation across jurisdictions and geographic units in the ability to respond to and recover from a disaster? How does the recovery process impact the social, political and economic institutions of the stricken communities? How do communities, especially rural ones, collaborate with multiple stakeholders (local, regional, state, national) during the transition from recovery to resilience? Can the collaborative nature of disaster recovery help build resilient communities?. The primary audiences of this book are scholars in emergency and crisis management, planning and policy, disaster response and recovery, disaster sociology and environmental management and policy. This book can also be used as a textbook in graduate and advanced undergraduate programs / courses on disaster management, disaster studies, emergency and crisis management, environmental policy and management and public policy and administration.

Science and Technology in Disaster Risk Reduction in Asia by Rajib Shaw,Koichi Shiwaku,Takako Izumi Pdf

Science and Technology in Disaster Risk Reduction in Asia: Potentials and Challenges provides both a local and global perspective on how to implement the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. Topics demonstrate the advancement of scientific research as it applies to early warning systems, including identifying risk and the strengthening of infrastructure for different types of hazards. Through different major disasters, it has become evident that there must be a balance between hard and soft technology and physical, process and social solutions. This book demonstrates how this has been successfully implemented in Asia, and how these applications can apply on a global basis. Covers new research on the role of science in Disaster Risk Reduction and lessons learned when research has been applied Utilizes case studies to outline the broader lessons learned Focuses on the Sendai Framework, which was adopted in the Third UN World Conference in 2015
