现在死于自然灾害的人比过去多。原因是更多的人生活在脆弱的环境中。《减灾》首先审查了这种脆弱性增加的根本原因，并研究了为什么穷人在灾害发生时遭受的痛苦最大。这本书的主要部分是关于减轻灾难的。作者认为，当社区组织采取缓解措施时，这些措施不仅更有效，而且还可以永久减少脆弱性。在秘鲁的里马克山谷，人们自己的组织开展了减灾规划和实施的创新项目，根据这些经验，本书还概述了世界其他地区脆弱性和减灾工作的选定案例研究。《减灾》一书得出的结论对所有与面临自然灾害威胁的人一起工作的人都具有重要意义。这本书为负责救灾和减灾的援助机构和政府提供了一个强有力的理由，让他们更多地关注社区团体的赋权。
More people die as a result of natural disasters now than in the past. The reason for this is that more people are living in vulnerable situations. Disaster Mitigation first examines the underlying causes for this increased vulnerability and looks at why poor people suffer most when disaster strikes. The major part of the book is concerned with mitigating disaster. The author argues that when mitigation measures are carried out by community organisations they are not only more effective, but can also lead to a permanent reduction in vulnerability. Based on experiences, in the Rimac Valley, Peru, where innovative projects for disaster mitigation planning and implementation were carried out by people's own organisations, the book also provides an overview of selected case studies of vulnerability and disaster mitigation work in other parts of the world. The conclusions reached in Disaster Mitigation have important implications for all who work with people facing the threat of natural disasters. The book makes a powerful case for aid agencies and governments with responsibility for disaster relief and mitigation to focus more on the empowerment of community groups.
