Beskrivning
The Routledge Handbook of Disaster Mitigation and Preparedness covers the two pre-disaster stages of the disaster management cycle by presenting a comprehensive, cutting-edge overview of their numerous elements.The handbook, which is a companion to the Routledge Handbook of Disaster Response and Recovery (2025), examines the foundations of mitigation and preparedness and, in doing so, advances theories, methods, and debates surrounding the two stages. The objective is to discuss major ongoing and emerging issues that are confronted by governments, communities, households, and other stakeholders. Leveraging a transdisciplinary lens, the topics in the Handbook are investigated at both the local and global scales and in terms of specific disaster types to address the various contexts in which disaster mitigation and preparedness activities are conducted.This book is an essential guide and reference not only for scholars engaged in disaster research, but also for undergraduate and graduate students, policy makers, disaster managers, international and supranational agencies, and humanitarian and volunteer organizations engaged in disaster management.
