Overview
This volume integrates key findings from the natural and the social sciences to provide an assessment of environmental risk and the policy responses required to achieve a safer world. It covers all the major rapid-onset events, whether natural or human in origin, which directly threaten humans, and what they value, on a community scale. The first half of the text provides an overview emphasizing that all disasters arise from a combination of physical exposure and human vulnerability - covering topics such as disaster databases, problems of monitoring the impact of disaster in both rich and poor countries and the evaluation and management of risk. The second half of the book contains a systematic treatment of environmental hazards.
