Disaster management is a multidisciplinary area covering a wide range of issues such as monitoring forecasting evacuation search and rescue relief reconstruction and rehabilitation. It also requires multi sectoral governance as scientists planners volunteers and communities all have important roles to play. These roles and activities span the pre during and post disaster phases. Besides shift of emphasis from disaster response to risk reduction has opened up areas of exploratory research in the subject. Vulnerability refers to the susceptibility of a community to a hazard. Vulnerability analysis seeks to predict disasters by ensuring timely preparedness on the part of people and institutions and concerned government agencies. The emerging arena of disaster mitigation is also becoming an integral aspect of development planning policy formulation and implementation. This is where this book comes in. It contains 22 chapters in the form of conceptual and empirical case studies from India and other developed countries. The blend of theory research and policy makes this book eminently worthwhile for anyone interested in disaster vulnerability and mitigation together with monitoring and forecasting and policy perspectives. It would be useful for students researchers and teachers of geograp.…

Hardcover. Etat : New. Language: English. ABOUT THE BOOK: The present work is an effort of author to explore and investigate disasters their typology and occurrence as well as their management and simplify it for the students of disaster management at the graduation, postgraduation and for those who are doing research in this field. This book has many relevant data maps and text for those who are preparing for various Civil services and other competitive exams. Author completed her doctorate in Environment, and teaching geography and disaster management in the Department of Geography Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, from last fourteen years. The idea to write a book on disaster management emerge because of author's keen interest in this field as she already publish many papers on disasters and their impacts she further wants to exceed her expertise to pen down the issues related to disaster management in a more organized and generalized way. This book has recent data and maps presenting current scenario of the problem in the world and India. The book has recent information so that it can help to planners and disaster managers as well as students of related fields. This book will reshape prevalent vulnerabilities in the world as well as in the country. The emerging scenario is indicative of increasing vulnerabilities in the world. The disasters cannot be stopped but their effects can be reduced up to some extent by careful planning and preparedness. This book defines disasters that are prevalent in the world and the ways adopted for their management and mitigation. Risk and vulnerabilities are viewed here as a manifestation of marginalization of a large section of society, their vulnerable living conditions and lack of access to basic services. The book has two distinct parts, the world disasters and disasters in India, their nature, typology, distribution, and management measures. This book has seven chapters on different aspects of disaster management. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dr. Seemin Mushir is a teaching faculty in the Department of Geography, Jamia Millia Islamia.
