Understanding Risk in an Evolving World : Emerging Best Practices in Natural Disaster Risk Assessment

The 10-year-long Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) set out to substantially reduce impacts from natural disasters by 2015. Despite efforts toward this goal, economic losses from natural disasters are rising from US$50 billion each year in the 1980s,...
