Natural Hazards and Disaster Risk Reduction Policies (Editors: Loredana Antronico (CNR-IRPI) and Fausto Marincioni (UNIVPM)) is a volume of the Open Access and peer-reviewed series "Geographies of the Anthropocene" (Il Sileno Edizioni), ISSN 2611-3171. The purpose of the Book is to document a number of case studies from different regions of the World pursuing disaster risk reduction through preparedness, mitigation, emergency response, and recovery activities. The volume contains 14 chapters divided into three sections: 1) disaster risk perception, 2) disaster planning and management, and 3) disaster mitigation and preparedness. The book chapters contribute to the current scientific debate on disaster ecology, exploring strategies and ability of local communities to adjust to hazard and disasters. Common thread among the different case studies is the need for Homo sapiens to define its rights and responsibilities in environmental dynamics, including extreme events and disasters. In the end, the choice of how to deal with hazard, vulnerability and disasters, highlights the ethical nature of disaster risk reduction; control of nature or adaptation to its cycles?
Natural Hazards and Disaster Risk Reduction Policies (a cura di Loredana Antronico (CNR-IRPI) e Fausto Marincioni (UNIVPM)) è un volume della collana editoriale scientifica (Open Access and peer-reviewed) "Geographies of the Anthropocene" (ISSN 2611-3171). Il volume Natural Hazards and Disaster Risk Reduction Policies raccoglie 14 lavori originali, di autori di tutto il mondo, che esplorano le strategie e la capacità delle comunità locali di adattarsi ai rischi naturali e ai conseguenti disastri attraverso la preparazione, la mitigazione, la risposta alle emergenze e l'attività di recupero post-emergenza. I capitoli del libro contribuiscono all'attuale dibattito scientifico sull'ecologia dei disastri, esplorando le strategie e la capacità delle comunità locali di adattarsi ai rischi e ai disastri. Il filo conduttore tra i diversi casi di studio è la necessità che l'Homo sapiens definisca le proprie responsabilità nelle dinamiche ambientali, inclusi gli eventi naturali estremi e i disastri ad essi collegati.
