This fragile mountain region is under tremendous stress from climate change and land-use degradation that has accelerated flash floods, river-line floods, erosion, and wet mass movements during the monsoon period and drought in the non-monsoon period. Against the backdrop of intensifying disasters and in the absence of a focused documentation of disaster risk reduction issues in the HKH region, this volume presents a comprehensive body of knowledge. The main purpose and objective of this publication is to connect existing data, research, conceptual work, and practical cases on risk, resilience, and risk reduction from the HKH region under a common analytical umbrella. The result is a contribution to advancing disaster resilience and risk reduction in the HKH region. The book will be of special interest to policy makers, donors, and researchers concerned with the disaster issues in the region. 410 0$aDisaster Risk Reduction, Methods, Approaches and Practices,$x2196-4106 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aRegional planning 606 $aCity planning 606 $aCulture?Study and teaching 606 $aNatural Hazards$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000 606 $aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15000 606 $aRegional and Cultural Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411000 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 0$aRegional planning. 615 0$aCity planning. 615 0$aCulture?Study and teaching. 615 14$aNatural Hazards. 615 24$aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning. 615 24$aRegional and Cultural Studies. 676 $a55 676 $a551 676 $a710 702 $aNibanupudi$b Hari Krishna$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aShaw$b Rajib$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299430003321 996 $aMountain Hazards and Disaster Risk Reduction$92504816 997 $aUNINA
