A seemingly non stop series of disasters has shown that societies worldwide seem unprepared for the threats posed by natural hazards Hurricane Katrina drought in Africa flooding in China and Germany earthquakes in Pakistan and India a tsunami in South East Asia and forest fires in Portugal Australia and North America. The tragic impacts of these events drew short term attention from policy makers the media and the general public but their response was too late to prevent serious harm. Societies need to measure their vulnerabilities in advance and make adequate provisions. To do so they have to understand the complex relationships between natural hazards and the related social economic and environmental vulnerabilities. Recognizing and measuring vulnerabilities is the first and perhaps most important step towards disaster resilient societies. Measuring Vulnerability to Natural Hazards presents a broad range of current approaches to measuring vulnerability. It provides a comprehensive overview of different concepts at the global regional national and local levels and explores vario.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In das Open-Access-Buch Die Flutkatastrophe 2021 Vom Wiederaufbau zur Klimaresilienz gehen Ergebnisse und Erfahrungen aus dem vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung geförderten Verbundprojekt KAHR (KlimaAnpassung, Hochwasser und Resilienz) ein. Insgesamt waren 13 Verbundpartner aus Forschung und Praxis sowie zahlreichen verschiedenen Disziplinen an den wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten beteiligt. Das Buch behandelt die weitreichenden Auswirkungen der Hochwasserkatastrophe im Juli 2021 in Deutschland, insbesondere in den Regionen Nordrhein-Westfalen und Rheinland-Pfalz. Es beleuchtet die physischen, sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Folgen des Ereignisses, das zu massiven Schäden an Infrastruktur, Wohngebäuden und kritischen Infrastrukturen führte. Die Autorinnen und Autoren analysieren die Herausforderungen im Rahmen des (Wieder-)Aufbaus und betonen die Notwendigkeit eines integrierten Hochwasserrisikomanagements, das technische, natürliche und soziale Aspekte berücksichtigt.Ein zentrales Anliegen des Buches ist es, aus den Erfahrungen der Katastrophe zu lernen und resilientere Strukturen für zukünftige Hochwasserereignisse zu schaffen. Dazu werden verschiedene Maßnahmen zur Verbesserung der einzugsgebietsweiten natürlichen und technischen Retention sowie Infrastrukturanpassung, privater Vorsorge und Anpassungen in der Raumplanung vorgestellt.Darüber hinaus wird die Rolle der Wissenschaft hervorgehoben, um evidenzbasierte Entscheidungen zu treffen und den Wissenstransfer zwischen Forschung und Praxis zu fördern. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit gilt auch den sozialen Aspekten des Wiederaufbaus in benachteiligten Quartieren, wo die Vulnerabilität der Bevölkerung durch soziale Ungleichheiten verstärkt wird.Das Buch bietet konkrete Empfehlungen für politische Entscheidungsträger:innen, Planer:innen und Praktiker:innen im Bereich des Hochwassermanagements sowie für betroffene Bürger:innen. Es schließt mit einem Ausblick auf zukünftige Herausforderungen im Kontext des Klimawandels und plädiert für eine stärkere Integration von Risikokommunikation in alle Phasen des Hochwassermanagements von der Vorsorge über die Bewältigung bis hin zur Nachsorge. …
