Summary
Details

Natural disasters, whether triggered by environmental forces or intensified by human activity, pose significant threats to human life, infrastructure, and economic stability. The increasing frequency and intensity of these events underscore the urgent need for comprehensive disaster risk management and resilience strategies. These catastrophic events not only cause immediate devastation but also have long-term social and developmental impacts. Understanding the causes, consequences, and preparedness measures for both natural and hybrid disasters is essential for safeguarding communities and promoting sustainable development. Strengthening Global Resilience to Natural Disasters evaluates the influence of natural catastrophes on important economic indicators and development metrics across a range of socioeconomic categories. It examines the impact of natural disasters on economic growth, foreign exchange reserves, agricultural development, and net natural resource depletion. Covering topics such as disaster management systems, earthquake awareness, and community preparedness, this book is an excellent resource for economists, disaster managers, environmentalists, policymakers, professionals, researchers, scholars, academicians, and more.
