| Description: |
The extend of disasters and their foreboding trend to increase in frequency and severity imply that the problem of disasters will have to be addressed by the world community in the coming years. Disasters take a devastating toll on countries; development, economies, and environment in all regions of the world and thereby severely compromise human security and livelihoods. This paper discusses the different components of risk. ISBN 3 9810582 0 8 |
