However, many innovative community initiatives have been developed to address natural disasters, which are often characterized as "local responses". While scrutinizing the potential strength and comparative advantage of community-based disaster response, this book analyzes and illustrates how individuals, families and social groups in rural and urban communities perceive natural disasters, their underlying reasons and their effects on their livelihoods, and documents and analyzes the role of local responses to natural disasters and conflict. Key factors determining the degree of vulnerability and resilience of affected communities are also elicited. Several pivotal issues related to community-based disaster responses are addressed, such as the relationship between local and external knowledge in addressing disasters, the relevance of institutional and policy frameworks for community-based disaster response and the role of social capital and collective action. 410 0$aCommunity, environment and disaster risk management ;$vv. 14. 606 $aScience$xEnvironmental Science$2bisacsh 606 $aNature$xEnvironmental Conservation & Protection$2bisacsh 606 $aNatural disasters$2bicssc 606 $aSocial impact of environmental issues$2bicssc 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aEmergency management 615 7$aScience$xEnvironmental Science. 615 7$aNature$xEnvironmental Conservation & Protection. 615 7$aNatural disasters. 615 7$aSocial impact of environmental issues. 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 0$aEmergency management. 676 $a363.349 701 $aNeef$b Andreas$f1965-$01460920 701 $aShaw$b Rajib$01474599 801 0$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790713003321 996 $aRisks and conflicts$93796462 997 $aUNINA
