The field of disaster risk management is concerned with minimizing the socio-economic vulnerabilities as well as managing the hazards that trigger them. This book explores all the important aspects of disaster risk reduction and management in the modern day scenario. It includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to these domains. It will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
