Integrating disaster science and management: global case studies in mitigation and recovery

'Integrated Disaster Science and Management' bridges the gap between scientific research on natural disasters and the practice of disaster management.

It examines natural hazards, including earthquakes, landslides and tsunamis, and uses integrated disaster management techniques, quantitative methods and big data analytics to create early warning models to mitigate impacts of these hazards and reduce the risk of disaster.

It also looks at mitigation as part of the recovery process after a disaster, as in the case of the Nepal earthquake.
