Nexus. 327 $a13.1 Indignity and the Science. 330 $aThis book provides a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to addressing geohazards, with topics such as social vulnerability reduction, risk prevention, institutional preparedness, and community resilience. It also introduces new technologies to study geohazards, which is important since geohazards have caused many casualties, economic losses, and damage to cultural heritage throughout human history. Despite this, the culture of risk prevention is not yet widespread, so Disaster Risk Reduction activities must focus on increasing capacities, strategies, and action plans for prevention and preparedness in local communities. 410 0$aAdvances in natural and technological hazards research ;$vVolume 51. 606 $aEmergency management 606 $aEnvironmental disasters 606 $aNatural disasters 615 0$aEmergency management. 615 0$aEnvironmental disasters. 615 0$aNatural disasters. 676 $a363.34 700 $aD'Amico$b Sebastiano$01263035 702 $aDe Pascale$b Francesco 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910720082403321 996 $aGeohazards and Disaster Risk Reduction$93417518 997 $aUNINA
