Sommario/riassunto

Outlines a framework to find the optimal level of mitigation by balancing its cost against the expected damages, recognizing the uncertainties in the hazard estimates. Uses real-world examples of natural hazards Can be understood by economists as well as earth scientists Has international relevance by authors both eminent in their fields.
