Chapter Chapter 1 in Resilience and Recovery in Asian Disasters, 2015, pp 1-16 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter introduces the core theoretical frameworks which motivate this edited volume, focusing on the roles of community, the market, and the government in disaster risk reduction and post-crisis recovery. It lays out trends in natural and manmade disasters over the past few decades and underscores the need to identify effective disaster mitigation and preparation strategies which augment complementarities among family and community ties, the market mechanisms, and the government interventions. Finally, this chapter summarizes the chapters which populate the book in three sections on family and community ties, production networks and market-based insurance mechanisms, and government policy and risk management. The chapter also suggests several concrete policy recommendations for government, NGO, and community decision makers.
