PHI Learning Disaster Mitigation : Experiences And Reflections by Pardeep Sahni Alka Dhameja Uma Medbury
Human vulnerability to natural disasters is an age-old phenomenon. Besides natures wrath human interventions too have led to many calamities in the recent past. The heedless pace of development has left us ecologically barren. Most of the worlds people live in developing economies as do most of the worlds poor. They also face the most debilitating consequences in the form of economic and social disruption caused by disasters. The long history of disasters and their intensity has brought the question of disaster management to the forefront. Disaster mitigation is a major component of a disaster management plan. Mitigation entails measures to reduce the physical economic and social vulnerability of a community to disasters. Disaster management is still an untouched domain suffering for want of systematic and committed research and development inputs. It is essential not only to consolidate its academic stature but also to infuse the requisite knowledge skills and attitudes in the personnel connected with this field. This collection of articles from several contributors is an excellent analysis of different mitigation strategies. It offers insight into the different dimensions of disaster preparedness and mitigation. The underlying attempt in each chapter is to illuminate the pertinence of those mitigation efforts that would prepare everyone related with disaster management to comprehend and approach the problem more holistically. Besides government agencies NGOs and community-based bodies the book is suitable for students pursuing the certificate programme in Disaster Management developed by the Indira Gandhi National Open University New Delhi.
