Resilience: Managing the Risk of Natural Disasters

ByRobert PrietoDavid Vaughn

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Resilience: Managing the Risk of Natural Disaster considers risk management strategies, risk identification methods, and pre- and post- event activities to minimize risk. Post-event recovery is a more widely understood field, as practitioners have a plethora of lessons learned from completed projects. Pre-event planning as a means of minimizing damage and downtime is a lesser developed field, and this book organizes both literature supported data and the authors’ anecdotal experiences into a framework for disaster management, spanning pre- and post- event. The book serves as a companion to Resilience: An Engineering & Construction Perspective, in which co-author Bob Prieto describes his perspectives on the challenges of resilience in large scale engineering and construction programs. Together, these books offer the reader fresh perspectives on the challenges and opportunities that exist before and after disaster strikes and how to act to improve outcomes.
