Case Studies in
Disaster Mitigation and Prevention: Disaster and Emergency Management: Case
Studies in Adaptation and Innovation series presents cases illustrating efforts
to reduce human and material losses associated with disasters. This volume
demonstrates that mitigation is an ongoing phase in which communities
continually pursue long-term hazard resistance and reduction. Cases illustrate
the importance of risk assessment in the development of mitigation strategies
through hazard mapping and multi-hazard mitigation planning. Cases also
illustrate approaches to reduction risk through structural and non-structural
means, giving consideration to benefits or limitations of these strategies in
different contexts. The contributions of different mitigation activities to
disaster risk reduction efforts are examined using the Sendai Framework for
Disaster Risk Reduction.
