SAHNI, et al. (Eds.)

Disaster Mitigation: Experiences and Reflections PARDEEP SAHNI, Professor of Public Administration, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), New Delhi. ALKA DHAMEJA and UMA MEDURY, both are Readers in the Faculty of Public Administration, IGNOU. Human vulnerability to natural disasters is an age-old phenomenon. Besides nature’s wrath, human interventions, too, have led to many calamities in the recent past. Most of the world’s people live in ‘developing’ economies, as do most of the world’s poor. They also face the most debilitating consequences in the form of economic and social disruption caused by disasters. Disaster mitigation entails measures to reduce the physical, economic and social vulnerability of a community to disasters. It is still an untouched domain, suffering for want of systematic and committed research and development inputs. This collection of articles from several contributors illuminates the pertinence of those mitigation efforts that would prepare everyone related with disaster management to comprehend and approach the problem more holistically.
