1 Disaster Risk Reduction Methods, Approaches and Practices For further volumes:
2 Scope of The Series About the Series Disaster risk reduction is a process, which leads to the safety of community and nations. After the 2005 World Conference on Disaster Reduction, held in Kobe, Japan, the Hyogo Framework for Action [HFA] was adopted as a framework of risk reduction. The academic research and higher education in disaster risk reduction has made / is making gradual shift from pure basic research to applied, implementation oriented research. More emphasis is given on the multi-stakeholder collaboration and multi-disciplinary research. Emerging university networks in Asia, Europe, Africa and Americas have urged for the process-oriented research in disaster risk reduction field. Keeping this in mind, this new series will promote the outputs of action research on disaster risk reduction, which will be useful for a wider range of stakeholders including academicians, professionals, practitioners, and students and researchers in the related field. The series will focus on some of emerging needs in the risk reduction field, starting from climate change adaptation, urban ecosystem, coastal risk reduction, education for sustainable development, community based practices, risk communication, human security etc. Through academic review, this series will encourage young researchers and practitioners to analyze field practices, and link it to theory and policies with logic, data and evidences. Thus, the series emphasizes evidence based risk reduction methods, approaches and practices. Series Editor Rajib Shaw, Kyoto University, Japan Editorial Advisory Group 1.

5 Preface Disaster recovery has been discussed for many years. Quite often, post-disaster recovery leads to rebuilding risk; recovery efforts are not informed by lessons learned and experience from previous disasters; recovery needs assessment has not been demand-driven; stakeholder consultative processes are weak; and institutions set up to manage recovery have not led to sustained national and local capacity for disaster reduction. There is increasing evidence from recent disasters that well-informed and wellprepared local governments and local communities can minimize the impacts of disasters. It is a well-accepted fact that communities vary from place to place, and their perception and ways of responding to disaster also vary. Therefore, it is important to decentralize policy and to customize it based on local needs and priorities. For large countries in Asia such as China, India, and Indonesia, different provinces have different cultural, socio-economic, and ethnic contexts. Thus, risk-reduction activities also need to be customized based on local contexts. Disaster recovery can be a development opportunity, provided the recovery process is used in combination with an appropriate governance system. A strong local government is often found to be effective for a successful recovery process. However, governance alone is not enough; it needs to be linked to appropriate technology, innovation, and education systems. In this book, a framework of GET (governance education technology) is proposed for a successful recovery program. Examples from different post-disaster situations are examined and a common framework for GET and cross-cutting issues is described here. This book is written for students and young researchers aspiring to a career in disaster risk reduction and environmental studies. I hope that they will find the book useful and relevant to their work. Kyoto, Japan Rajib Shaw v
