The Cambridge Handbook of Disaster Law and Policy: Risk, Recovery, and Redevelop

Description: The Cambridge Handbook of Disaster Law and Policy by Susan S. Kuo, John Travis Marshall, Ryan Rowberry Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the ways in which laws and policies at every level – public and private – leave us vulnerable to major disaster events. It provides detailed descriptions of the types of changes that governments, nonprofits, businesses, and citizens can pursue to help make communities more resilient. Publisher Description This centurys major disasters from Hurricane Katrina and the Fukushima nuclear meltdown to devastating Nepalese earthquakes and the recent crippling volcanic eruptions and tsunamis in Tonga have repeatedly taught that government institutions are ill-prepared for major disaster events, leaving the most vulnerable among us unprotected. These tragedies represent just the beginning of a new era of disaster – an era of floods, heatwaves, droughts, and pandemics fueled by climate change. Laws and government institutions have struggled to adapt to the scope of the challenge; old models of risk no longer apply. This Handbook provides timely guidance, taking stock of the field of disaster law and policy as it has developed since Hurricane Katrina. Experts from a wide range of academic and practical backgrounds address the root causes of disaster vulnerability and offer solutions to build more resilient communities to ensure that no one is left behind.
