ISBN: 9781402007996 / Angielski / Miękka / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This holds especially for emergency preparedness and health risk reduction, which are all essentially spatial problems. To date, however, many initiatives have remained disconnected and uncoordinated, leading to less powerful, less compatible and less widely...

Two themes in particular are studied in depth: aid and gender and aid and the environment.

The Handbook of Disaster and Emergency Policies and Institutions
ISBN: 9781844073597 / Angielski / Twarda / 187 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Disasters both natural and human-induced are leading to spiralling costs in terms of human lives, lost livelihoods and damaged assets and businesses. Yet these consequences and the financial and human crises that follow catastrophes can often be traced to policies unsuited to the emerging scales of the problems they confront, and the lack of institutional capacity to implement planning and prevention or to manage disasters. This book seeks to overcome this mismatch and to guide development of a policy and institutional framework. For the first time it brings together into a coherent framework...
