About this book series
This Palgrave Macmillan book series takes an interdisciplinary integrated approach to disaster risk, resilience and reconstruction. It brings together the multi-disciplinary expertise in the physical sciences and social sciences necessary for effective disaster risk reduction and recovery. With a broad focus on disaster risk science and sustainability, the series affords significant attention to those areas of the world which experience large scale societal and economic losses from disaster events. It includes disasters arising from climate change impacts and those from geological processes and tectonic movements, poor governance and emergency management practices. It takes into account both rural and urban environments in developing and developed countries and the ecological impacts of disasters.
By taking an integrated approach to the four research communities – poverty alleviation, development, climate change and disasters – this series brings new perspectives to the global disaster policy and practice communities. The series connects people and technology and examines the roles and contributions of multiple stakeholders across scale and their interactions with policy development and implementation. It provides significant inclusion of and acknowledgment of the importance of indigenous knowledge and cultural practices in shaping disaster risk reduction from numerous countries. By bringing together the multiple facets of disaster preparedness, response, recovery and reconstruction, the series opens new vistas on achieving reduced societal and economic losses from disasters around the world.
The series was founded by Prof. Helen James of the Disaster Risk Science Institute, at the Australian National University.
