All led to loss of life and loss of livelihoods, and recovery will take years. One of the likely effects of climate change is to increase the likelihood of the type of extreme weather events that seems to cause these disasters. But do extreme events have to turn into disasters with huge loss of life and suffering? 'Dull Disasters?' harnesses lessons from finance, political science, economics, psychology, and the natural sciences to show how countries and their partners can be far better prepared to deal with disasters.Emergency managementCrisis managementOrganizational resilienceEmergency management.Crisis management.Organizational resilience.363.348Clarke Daniel J(Daniel Jonathan),1980-893908Dercon StefanStDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910137022103321Dull disasters1996854UNINA
