Riassunto

This edited book introduces the concept of complex disasters and considers both disaster risks and impacts across the disaster management spectrum – Prevention – Preparation – Response and Recovery. Three types of complex disasters are analysed – ‘compound’, ‘cascading’ and ‘protracted’.

Case studies include hazards from fires, through to floods, sea level rise and typhoons are explored through case studies from Australia and the Asia Pacific region. Each is written by scholars and/or practitioners with acknowledged expertise in the field and most chapters are based on detailed case studies of ongoing or recent research projects. 

The book will be useful to researchers in climate, disaster, or environmental and economic policy, disaster risk reduction, and climate change studies, and practitioners and policy makers applying disaster theory and knowledge into policy and decision-making.

Informazioni sull?autore

Dr Lukasiewicz researches topics around the distribution of natural resources (including how decision-making processes are structured and stakeholder-decision maker interactions); water governance (including water management, climate change adaptation and stakeholder engagement); and disaster justice (natural disaster management policy and management in disaster preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery), and natural hazard management (especially policy around disaster resilience). She works at the interface of justice and natural resource management.

Her research interests include climate regulation and policy, coastal management, climate change adaptation, government roles and responsibilities in a changing environmental law, land use planning, climate, and urban sustainability. She has published widely on these topics and in a variety of formats. She was previously a senior executive at the Australian Academy of Science, leading Future Earth Australia.
