Springer - Public Health and Disasters in Asia Book

Explore the evolving landscape of health emergency and disaster risk management (H-EDRM) with this comprehensive text from Springer. This book focuses on the intersection of health and disaster risk reduction (DRR), providing specific research examples from the Asian context. As global frameworks like the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 and the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) gain importance, understanding the link between health outcomes and disaster management is essential. This work examines how health serves as a natural goal within these international agreements, including the Paris climate agreement and the New Urban Agenda (Habitat III). This resource is designed for professionals and students interested in how interdisciplinary research can address the challenges of managing health emergencies. By studying the H-EDRM field through an Asian lens, readers gain insight into the practical applications of disaster risk reduction strategies in real-world scenarios.
