一系列看似不间断的灾难表明，世界各地的社会似乎对自然灾害造成的威胁毫无准备。这些事件的悲惨影响引起了政策制定者、媒体和公众的短期关注，但他们的反应为时已晚，无法防止严重伤害。社会需要提前衡量自己的脆弱性，并制定适当的规定。本出版物介绍了当前衡量脆弱性的广泛方法，并包含来自非洲、亚洲、美洲和欧洲的具体经验和例子，以说明理论分析。--出版商的描述。
A seemingly non-stop series of disasters has shown that societies worldwide seem unprepared for the threats posed by natural hazards. The tragic impacts of these events drew short-term attention from policy makers, the media and the general public, but their response was too late to prevent serious harm. Societies need to measure their vulnerabilities in advance, and make adequate provisions. This publication presents a broad range of current approaches to measuring vulnerability and contains concrete experiences and examples from Africa, Asia, the Americas and Europe to illustrate the theoretical analyses.--Publisher's description.
