Given the dynamic changes in the natural environment as well as the patterns of land use and management, the growing populations of the developing nations in Asia, migration patterns, and other social-cultural aspects, the impacts of disasters have increased manifold in Asian countries. Against this backdrop, the book examines disaster management issues such as disaster preparedness, post-disaster reconstruction, peace, development and corruption. The views of different groups of stakeholders are incorporated in the discussion to ensure a comprehensive analysis of and findings on the governance process, as well as best practices in pre- and post-disaster management. The book also includes chapters focusing on aspects often overlooked in the context of disaster management, such as the need to invest in public education to improve public awareness, and approaches to supporting the disabled, the vulnerable and the elderly from disaster risks. In closing, the book presents research on disaster management methods employed by different countries in the Asian region. 606 $aPublic administration 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aEnvironmental economics 606 $aPublic Administration$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34030 606 $aClimate Change Management and Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/314000 606 $aEnvironmental Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009 606 $aNatural Hazards$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000 606 $aEnvironmental Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48000 615 0$aPublic administration. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 0$aEnvironmental economics. 615 14$aPublic Administration. 615 24$aClimate Change Management and Policy. 615 24$aEnvironmental Management. 615 24$aNatural Hazards. 615 24$aEnvironmental Economics. 676 $a330 676 $a333.7 676 $a351 676 $a551 676 $a551.6 702 $aHa$b Huong$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aFernando$b R.
