Description
With chapters that incorporate additional perspectives on social vulnerability, this second edition focuses on the social construction of disasters, demonstrating how the characteristics of an event are not the only reason that tragedies unfurl.
It incorporates disaster case studies to illustrate concepts, relevant and seminal literature, and the most recent data available.
In addition to highlighting the U.S. context, it integrates a global approach and includes numerous international case studies.
The book highlights recent policy changes and current disaster management approaches and infuses the concept of community resilience and building capacity throughout the text.
