Description

Disaster preparation carries immense responsibility. When natural or human-induced disasters strike built-up areas, the level of damage is largely determined by how well assets were developed to withstand the impact. This book by Routledge addresses the ethical and financial necessity of building resilience into our infrastructure. For specialists in disaster management, understanding the difference between structural and non-structural alterations is vital. This text explores how to protect buildings from large-scale disasters and investigates methods to reduce the overall threat posed by these events. It provides a foundation for those tasked with preventing the loss of life and economic stability that follows a failure to prepare. Whether you are studying earth sciences or working in professional disaster mitigation, this resource offers a deep look into attaining built-in resilience. It is an essential guide for understanding how to safeguard the built environment against future hazards.
