This book provides an interdisciplinary volume of advances in disaster science that further understanding global progress to reduce disaster risk. As we pass the halfway point on implementing the Sendai Framework for Risk Reduction, the question stands what progress has been made on reducing disaster risk at the global and local scales? The book is thematically grouped around the Sendai Framework's four priorities, spanning efforts to assess hazards and risk, disaster governance, mechanisms to build resilience, and recovery in the aftermath of crises. This book offers scholars and practitioners a glimpse into the opportunities and challenges at the forefront of disaster risk reduction efforts.
