This book presents interdisciplinary and multinational perspectives on emergency management policy, economic development, and various factors affect the recovery process after natural disasters strike urban areas. The central theme of the book is threefold: policy, urbanity, and the interplay of events after disasters that affect a community's return to normalcy. Case studies highlight the diverse challenges that communities face with emergency planning and responses. Analyses help guide policymakers and policy actors in making decisions that strengthen communities for the future.
